I'm thinking about getting a boost bottle for my banshee, and I was wondering if it makes a difference in throttle response and low end power? like they say in the add.

I've talked to numerous shops and mechanics and everybody told me it's an overrated product, good for looks only. Save your money. If you really want to improve your throttle response get some Rad Valves. It's the best bang for buck I've put on my Banshee so far.

Boost bottles do provide some gains, but they are really small. DarbyCrash is right there is better places to spend the money rather than on a boost bottle. A boost bottle is much like a expansion chamber pipe, that it is designed to operate within a very specific RPM range. Typically it's lower end RPM's. Hence, very hard to notice, and how often do ride and need more power under 3 to 4 thousand RPM's??? If you haven't replaced your reeds with an aftermarket set, for about the same price as a boost bottle you can get better throttle response and power from reeds. Boyesen dual stage reeds work well.
