4.0 out of 5 stars Nice!, January 12, 2008

This review is from: Tippmann Cyclone Feeder System for Custom 98 and Custom Pro (Sports)

This thing is cool, a speedy hopper that can run without batteries- thats what got me to buy it.
The instructions suck, I ruined a valve and a gas line part before realizing how to do it. Thats the problem with Tippmann- their instructions are vague and give no detail on how to accomplish the tasks.
Back to the cyclone, after the work was done and it was installed it evaluated it it based on the appearance. The hopper is very well designed, it fits a pod perfectly and the system's placement on the gun couldn't be better. It still enables you to access your sights and doesn't stick up (as many electronic halos and eggys do), The thing makes your gun look bad a#%, (like an a5). -with other modifications to the gun, I prefer mine over an a5 any day.
The cyclone doesn't run on batteries (yes!), one less thing for you to worry about when you step onto the field.
All in all, the cyclone provides excellent speed, great efficiency, sweet design, and a crap instruction manuel.- Buy it, but if your not a do-it-yourself person (like me), than have someone experienced install it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great upgrade for your Custom 98, July 2, 2006

This is a great upgrade. Once installed, it worked great! It was a bit of a hassle to install, mostly due to the fact that you have to replace the power tube around the valve. Realigning the valve in the new power tube takes some patience. I would recommend using some teflon tape when re-attaching the gas line to the valve to avoid leaks. Other than that its Da Bomb. Remember that if you have a response trigger, you need an adaptor kit so that you can have both upgrades working. It's around $20.

I am very satisfied with this hopper upgrade for my 98 Custom Pro. The gravity hopper it came with just could not keep up, or maybe it was bad paint that didn't like to feed properly, half the time I was pulling the trigger I got nothing but air, but after getting the Cyclone system, no ptoblems whatsoever. Easy to install, price was competitive with other hopper upgrades, and it looks very cool. The only downside is that it only works on this marker, so when I upgrade to another marker, this hopper stays on the Tippmann... oh well... no regrets here despite that.
