K & N Filter

[PaulSV]

just a quick one, can I change standard air filter for a K & N, I'm using a blue flame end can with baffle in, or will I need a Power Commander :confused:

Pointy or curvy?
Element or complete air filter?

[PaulSV]

K7 (pointy) just the air filter element

using just the filter and can is ok....you will get some slight pops on the over run which sounds nice but up to u mate

Did the same to mine - seems to pull slightly better thru the revs + the pops sound nice

[panosm]

what about fitting it in a curvy with a can?

[PaulSV]

How about chopping off the snorkel too (doesn't look like it will come off any other way, or will it)?

Pull it. It does come off. I took mine off and put SV1000 one on.

To be honest don't expect much noticable gain with the k&n, bmc are supposed to be better although I wouldn't know, have only used the k&n.

panosm, same as just put it in and go, either case power commanders aren't much benefit if any for what £200 or so. Better and cheaper to take it to a rolling road and get it set up that way if you so wish.
