ToomeySheeLE Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hey guys Im running 35pwks carbs with CPI Sb inframes and I am constantly burning holes in my outerwares and cleaning my filters.. its getting sickening.. I've cut the airbox mounting tabs off to get the clearance for these large pod filters, but still have a bitch of a time trying to keep them from burning/rubbing holes.. I purchased a set of Uni pods off a fellow on planet sand, unfortunitly they must be for 39mm carbs cause the opening is a way too sloppy.. anyways even if they did fit they second layer of the Uni filter would quickly go up in flames as it rubs the stinger tubes of the silencers. Just wondering what Pods people are using for their 35pwks... thanks for any responces Part #'s and where you got what your using would also be a huge help.. Thanks again Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Brad if you go to cascade-innovations.net they sell some slip on covers for stingers that will prevent future problems with outerwears. or, on my first 4mm, I used a huge zip tie to hold the pods close together, which gave clearance along the stingers. Either way worked great for me, and no more holes in the outerwears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilarious Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 if you go to cascade-innovations.net they sell some slip on covers for stingers that will prevent future problems with outerwears. or, on my first 4mm, I used a huge zip tie to hold the pods close together, which gave clearance along the stingers. Either way worked great for me, and no more holes in the outerwears. Or getcha some header wrap which is what I did. Stopped the problem with burnin holes in the TOPS of the air filters. Now getting the bottoms of the filters to stop rubbin on the frame and upper, rear shock mount is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now getting the bottoms of the filters to stop rubbin on the frame and upper, rear shock mount is another story. I'm running the K&N Angled pods. I have CPi BB and have not burned my outerwears yet. I do put a few rubber bands around the outerwears to keep them away from the pipes frame etc. I have PWK33's but that should not matter. On some bikes or with some pipes (same kind or not) burning the outerwears will be more of a problem. I have some header wrap but decided it not to use it. Waste of $25 or whatever.

Skithis Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I ziptied some rubber hose you use for exhaust on a boat around my procircuits where my outerwares touch em. Works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToomeySheeLE Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Thanks for the ideas.. Why did you not try the silencer wrap you bought Justin? Now if i can et them from rubbing holes.. I've electical tapped alot of bad rub spots to give it a softer contact surface.. perhaps i'll just go like hell and tape it all up.. Wheres the best place to get prefilters? I see they're 18$ through cascade... anyone finding them cheaper than that? Thanks guys\ Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It either has to do with the new frame or swithcing to Big Bore CPI's or both. The angled pods is key! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have to run a piece of safety wire around my 2:1 filter so the outerware won't burn on the left (I think it is the left) stinger. Those protectors will solve that problem. And silver or black will be just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I run the cascade heat wraps on my toomy T5's. My filters are KN# RU-1090 They have a 10 deg angle flange. Cascade LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
