I have been having quite the time trying to get non-stock air filters to fit inside the engine bay. The 4,5,6 side has no issues, but the 1,2,3 is hitting the trunk lip. I have cut some of the seal away (smh new seal) to get it to fit. I just ordered what I thought were a new set of k&N for $220 only to find out it was one. This setup is a little slimmer than the aluminum K&N by about a 1/4 inch. So it might work, I just hate dropping $440 on a set of pods when I have a set of pods.
What are most doing for this? I saw ITG has a pair for under $400, but they look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) I don't even know how rain hats would even fit, but I'm sure I have seen some. I know Ben is running clear plastic tops which look to fit just under the lip. I am running the mad dog OEM mount. My carbs sit a little taller due to phelonic spacers. Are people running a slimmer profile filter? Edit: Running Zeniths |

Looks like the same way the factory built them LOL none the same all pretty close. Sold my K&Ns and went back to stock plastic one with Zeniths,found I couldn't used one of the clips @ that point and no room the engage it but atleast the air cleaner still seals there. The air cleaner is a little hard to fit but I like the reduction in noise over the K&N's which was the reason for changing I now have a more suitable oil tank vent hose back to the aircleaner also,recently fitted a BMC filter element. I'am running a stock mount @ the bulkhead,engine seems to be pretty much in the right place. |
