Boyesen carbon fiber Pro reeds on the left and standard Boyesen reeds on the right. It will work perfectly. Might change your engine characteristics slightly but not a whole lot.

So with the new one, its two parts. Anyone know how to correctly assemble these two parts?

They install as you would the old ones, they're just a different design. Will still work for you.
