i12gofast Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 K&N baby. Its easy unless youre retarded, then its only kidna easy...i think i paid b/t $60 and $90 for my kit. It was a long time ago. Yeah youll get better air flow = better power, but you might not see a noticeable increase if you dont have otehr stuff done too. make sure you clean that sucker as often as you can. Quote
Ducman Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Just want to make sure you get a kit with the adapter plate that mounts inside the stock air that the filter clamps on to. Something like the pro-flow with a K&N and outerwears. New, it will cost you about $85. You can get a similar kit from pro-flow or twin air with a foam filter for about $70 new. Quote
sheecandy Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 never had luck using the stock air box and a adapter plate always find dirt in the carbs thats why i like clamp on k&n and outerwares Quote
Meat Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 aww man don't listen to these chumps, a big foam UNI filter is the only way to go. The added airflow aint worth the hassles of a K&N filter. K&N only for street drag racing, show quads and sand-mobiles. If you get dirty when you ride, then you want to go with a UNI or TwinAir foam. Quote
Justintoxicated Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 K&N is great, UNI filters more crap out but is more restrictive.... SO it depends what you mean as better. There is always a trade off.. Nothign wrong with using a K&N and stock airbox... Hell I Didn't even use the adapter plate, I just modified the stock one (trimmed the supports), Siliconed and bolted it into place to hold the K&N. Don't take out the adapter plate just unclamp the K&N... Quote

midnite Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 I like the foam filters, and a billet plate set up the best. Anything is better than the stocker. Alba has a plastic plate set up for cheap. Quote
