Zadar, what do you reckon of the Factory Pro option, CRB-S36-3.7-RK3? I notice they mention carb machining required, which ties in with the old SVRider article and my half-remembered PMs from you ages back.

(I like Factory Pro, Marc came through really well for me a while back, but now that every third sentence on their website is "Ya boo, all other dynos suck" I'm starting to get a bit fed up with them )

Ive read you dont get a major increase in air flow, its a bit of a gimmick... I cant remember where i saw the review but if i remember right a performance filter and snorkel removal (centre of air filter removed will have the same effect, if not better... and the noise is there for cirtain!)

You'd be better of doing a snorkel removal on the air filter for some nice induction noise, I asked about this last year with some K&N pods and it seemed the opinion is its a waste of time.

Fine!

Was talking to some friends today who explained that I'd have to pay a fortune trying to get it jetted properly. I'll just get a bmc or k&n

Thanks for the advice though.

If you were actually to do this, then you'd need to adapt some sort of catch can on the oil breather pipes.
Or point the breathers at the chain and have a hillbilly scottoiler

No you just use the std breather box that is screwed to the airbox.

Just dont expect any midrange improvement (lucky if you match let alone gain) with seperate filters.
Without using air-correctors I can't see how the 162 jets required with those filters would ever be close, unless the filters flow like S&B's
