jayzx10r Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 I'm getting a li'l pissed that every weekend I ride, I have to replace my left side filter outerwears because the stinger is sooo close! Last trip, I cooked my K&N!! I have automotive pipe wrap around it, but it's still not good enough as I have like 1/4" clearance. Sooo.... do Shearers fit better? What about the "air box" bend stingers... would they give me more clearance? I'm open to other solutions too. I was even thinking of running the stock air box open top and letting the pipe burn it's own clearance... lol. Someone recommended the Cascade sleeves but since they would lay directly against my filters under pressure -- I can't see them not burning my filters either. Sand use only so it's a filter and outerwear setup...Thanks for your $ 0.02. Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 What pipes are you running now? Quote
jayzx10r Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Posted February 16, 2015 Oh yea, huh Tyler!! I forgot a few of the details... Currently running CPI inframes on a serval cyl, UPP intakes, v-force 4's with 10º bend K&N's hanging off of 35 PWK's. Quote
sprinklerman Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 We ran the exact same setup with the cascade wraps with no problems. They will touch the filter, but will not burn them. Quote
sheerider11 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 If you find a solution let me know. I wrapped my cpi stingers in header wrap. They don't burn just wear a hole. 110 for filters every month gets expensive. I've bent the filters in a few positions but they always rub somewhere on something. There starting to show on the bottom frame tube too. Quote
sheerider11 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 We ran the exact same setup with the cascade wraps with no problems. They will touch the filter, but will not burn them.They don't rub holes into the outerwear and then into the filter? Quote
sprinklerman Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 They don't rub holes into the outerwear and then into the filter?Usually a small rub hole in the outerwear only, on the 90° corner of the k&n flange area. Never hurt the filter it's self. I never worried about it because it was in the rubber area, and we rode sand only.And it was only on one side. Quote
special06shee Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Use uni filters and rubbing is less of an issue Quote
dirtydownunder Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 i run shearers and they clear the uni pods with 2nd stage filters. but i seen some shearer setups and that hit everywhere. Quote
BANSHEEBEEFM2M Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Go pods. Ditch the airbox. Shearer in frames are the best fitting inframe drag pipes out. I run the oof shearers they perform great but he should tig weld them lol Quote

special06shee Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 I've heard different about the fit. Actually I've heard and seen the complete the complete opposite.i think its hit and miss... Both sets of shearer in frames i had were the best fitting pipe i every had on my bike. No clearance issues at all. I have seen sets take some tweaking to fit as well. Quote
special06shee Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 My first set was awful. Turns out I had the stingers on the wrong sides. Second sit fit perfect.lol. Quote
dirtydownunder Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Pretty sure snipers are the best fitting. Heard no complaints. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 http://www.extremeheatprotection.com This is the best stuff I've ever found. I was liquidating a Chrysler plant 5 years ago and found some on all the wiring in the dyno cells. I had to Un wire it all and they were gonna chuck the loom and tubing. I kept a ton of it and I've not melted even an outerwear since. Quote
