The air box has a nipple on the bottom for one hose and there is another hole on the top of the airbox for the other hose.
    What is the purpose of the 2 hoses ?

    There is only one nipple on the bottom of the airbox There is a 1/2" hole at the top.

    I'll vouch for this. I've had Carson reeds on my engine for a couple of years now, I've seen a definite improvement in idle quality. And Chris will take the time to answer any questions you might have about installation.

    I have been running Chris' reeds in my 04 225 HO for almost a year now and have not had any issues. I have put 30-40 hrs on them.
