robert.b.west Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I just put on my new 33mm pwk's not realizing that I fit the k& n's on with the pipes off. The k&n's are 3.5 dia X 5 long. Has this happen to anyone else and if so any sugestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee4speed Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I have angled K&N's on my 35's.Can you turn them so they don't hit anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster2006 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I have angled K&N's on my 35's.Can you turn them so they don't hit anything? well for me, my clamp ons are hitting a screw on my frame.. part of the frame is touching it, and it causes it to bend... the part of the filter becomes bent its anooying... ddnt know they also touch stingers?

robert.b.west Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 you mean that tab that the air box rides on? No I removed the tab that the air box rides on but it also touches the stinger tube on the left side. I believe I have found an old post that said that the t-5s and t-6s do this. they said to put this slip on insulator over the stinger pipe. I will have to find it later. Could someone with k&n's and t-6's or t-5s and a boss intake post a picture or just someone with k&n's post a picture. I just want to see what someone elses looks like.

bbcmudtruck Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'm running t5s with a boss intake, 35 airstrykers and I have clearance issues as well. I had to angle the head pipe so that it didn't hit the top of the carb and I put header wrap on the silencer to keep the outer wear from melting.

XxMeltIcexX Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 If all the tabs are cut off and your using Angled Filters, try and use tie raps to hold them together. Shearers are pretty tight too, never had t5s or t6s tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Get a pair of short cascade heat wraps. I run one just on the LH stinger tube on my CPI's. They dont even get warm. www.cascadeinnovations.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Call Jeff at FAST. Order the angled K&N pods. I run CPI pipes with 35mm carbs and the angled pods dont touch the stingers. The straight pods did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I tried the 20 deg angled ones first. They had to much angle and rubbed on the frame under them. The 10 deg's fit perfict. That is with a boss racing intake. I am sure different intakes have different angles and thus require a different angled filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
