trueraiderfan Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Hey guys I have (mods below) and I think my filter set up may be hurting me but i dont know how much here is what i have. I have a pro design foam filter in the stock air box. Would getting K&n Pods help me out quite a bit or not. and if so what size filter should i get (how many inches for the K&N's) Quote
SoCalinIt Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Hey man! I'm no expert be any means, but I'd say get the K&N 8" pods from FAST. I noticed a big gain on my stock drag ported jugs. Better air flow for sure. just my .02 Quote
scooter Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 i have pod filters on mine and i noticed a difference after instaling them. mine are 5 inch whitch i think is standard and i have outerwears also. i dont have port work like you have but i think you will notice a gain Quote
trueraiderfan Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Posted February 14, 2007 thanks for the replies guys I have another question now. I want to use dual stage foam filter's with velocity stacks instead of K&N's cause my builder said my engine will last a lil longer with the foam filters over the k&n's. Said the K & N's let in more crap than the foam filters do. what do ya think? Quote
scooter Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 ive never had any problems with the k+n but you have to clean them just like any filter. i would run the outerwears also Quote
trueraiderfan Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Posted February 14, 2007 Cool^^^ does anybody on here run dual foam filters? Quote
SoCalinIt Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 I had the Uni pods and Uni prefilters on my 97 before I did the motor. They worked fine, but the cleaning was a lot worse for me. The sand sticks to the foam a lot more then the K&N's. You have to clean them a lot more then the normal pods. Just my .02 Quote
trueraiderfan Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) cool I think thats what im gunna go with. I believe if im cleaning the filter more then that mean they are catching more crap that is not going into my engine. Just dont trust the K&n's for the Shee. I would rather get 1 mabye 2 less Hp and catch alot more crap than flow that much more stuff through my bike. I hope to get 3 years b4 I put a new top end in it but i would be happy with 2. Cause I know when I get my Dune / Drag bike this fall im gunna be doing it every year. Edited February 16, 2007 by trueraiderfan Quote
Mullet Man Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) or you could just cut up your airbox and still utilize the pro flow adapter. this will keep the weight of the carbs on the front airbox supports and you will have an open filter and not have spent any money. like this http://i16.tinypic.com/48n7dw9.jpg i had a Toomey filter that i slid over the pro flo foam filter (the pro flo filter was old) thats why it is red, then i bought a precharger for it. i also put some stainless allen head bolts on the top and bottom so it is sealed tight (~$0.40 each at ACE) works great :thumbsup: Edited February 16, 2007 by Mullet Man Quote
trueraiderfan Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Posted February 16, 2007 Kisck ass man that is a great idea im gunna do that this weekend. along with putting on that new switch i got from ya. Thanks bro Quote
Mullet Man Posted February 17, 2007 Report Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) if you use a precharger, dont use any oil. if you dont use a precharger, use some foam filter oil. dont forget to check plugs, might need too rejet (more air=more fuel) the switch should be there tomorrow.
