Newcs222 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 So i bought a stick air box with pro flow and k&n. I got the box used so it didn't come with the stock filter. The instructions on the k&n say to use the stock filter for the mod. I don't have it. I just tightened the shit outta the filter till it held to the pro flow. It feels tight. What are my options here? Has anyone else done this the same way as me? Will I get air leaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uf21 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 if by pro flow you mean the pro flow adapter than thats good. Just tighten the gilter onto the pro flow and your good to go as long as the pro flow is screwed to the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't actually need the pro flow filter, just as long as the one you have fits and isnt going to fall off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to tighten it a lot to get it to fit. And i'm not entirely sure its fitting perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uman1030 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Sounds like filter is too large but it may be fine if you can tighten it enough with no gaps for debris to sneak by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a 3502 k&n. Its tight. Can't pull it off. I'm good to go I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 If it looks like this you are good to go. I've got one so old it's shrank and can barely get it on and off. A little silicone with the o-ring is a good idea too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcs222 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I used silicone on the the whole pro flow face. Thats what it looks like. It just seemed too big at first. Had to tighten the piss outta it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcs222 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Yeah youre good to go. Its just that with my fiances ltz 400 and her k&n setup the filter fit snug on the adapter without even having to tighten it. On my banshee when the filter was loose it seemed way too big. Whats up with the stock filter adapter mod? Is the k&n supposed to mount to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Did you not get the pro-flow and K&N together in a kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcs222 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Did you not get the pro-flow and K&N together in a kit? No i bought the filter new and pro flow used. I wasn't about to spend 100 of the pro flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the stock filter mod what they do is cut off those thin fin looking bits and then like the pro flow the k&n goes over the lip and you tighten it on. As said before. If it is tight and has no gaps then it is good and you shouldnt be worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
