Meat Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Hey guys I got a question about K&N pod filters rubbing on the exhaust stinger. This Banshee has 34mm PJ's, a big ol' ModQuad billet intake, K&N pods with the angled boots and FMF Fatty pipes. The right sides pod clears the stinger pipe by a good 1/2 inch, but the left side's pod is just barely touching the exhaust stinger, touching enough that It is going to melt the Outerwear and possibly damage the pod filter too. So what do I need to do in a situation like this ? -denny Quote
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 I use header wrap. it will stop it from melting but as time goes on the vibration / rubbing will ware a hole into that outerware. i just ordered got straight K&N`s to fix the problem. good luck man. Quote
06specialedition Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 I've heard people getting high temp hose, slicing it longways and putting it over the stinger tube. Hope this helps and makes sense Quote
jbooker82 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 I run a boss intake, 33pwk's with 6in 10 deg k&n pods. Rh side is fine, left filter is fine but the outerwear will touch from time to time. I just use a short cascade innovations heat wrap. It is a 6 to 8 in sleeve that you slip on the stinger tube. It insulates good. They don't even get hot. You can touch them with your bare hand. Quote

AKheathen Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 loosen the clamp, and turn the pod, if angled, or even just push it over, and tighten the clamp......... if that doesn't do it, rubber bands or zip-tie, like mentioned.....you can even do the same with the carbs in the intake boots...

dirtydownunder Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 yeh angled intakes and angled pods here. old setup, but they are no where near the stingers, even tho they may look it. Quote
Meat Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks everyone. Does anyone have a picture of the pods with the zip tie on em ? Quote

This worked for me. My pods were hitting my airbox mounts and rubbed holes in my outerwears. I fixed that with some permatex automotive silicone. That fix was for future reference. Quote
