No it's not, but glad i found it. Was pulling the injectors to send out and decided to take a look.

nope,just thought it was time to do the injectors. Any ideals on what would make it break like that.
I guess that is common. I was told it's because they're carbon fiber. Had the same problem in '05 (but ALOT worse) and put Boysen's in but saw no performance gain.

Mike:
Is it just the picture- or do you have TWO DIFFERENT types of reeds on that plate (some appear to be different composition in the picture)?
You'll likely never know for sure.... but if I had to wager a guess... at some point a tie-wrap was sucked into the intake, and lodged in that reed.
Your engine used Boyeson Dual-Stage reeds (straight from the factory)- and that's what I'd recommend replacing them with.

Just the picture, used a flashlight instead of a flash so only the broke reed would be highlited. Was going to tell you i sent the injectors yesterday afternoon but i seen you already have them,Them ups boys are on the ball.
Called Boyeson and talked to a rep. about them and she said they only make them in fiberglass, i thought they were carbon fiber. Fiberglass- is this what i want??
