Title: which K&N filter to purchase?
Post by: jhutch2115 on March 19, 2008, 09:34:58 PM
Which of the 3 K&N filter set up provides the most performance, and has anyone seen a dyno to verify the claimes? If there is no significanr difference then which is the easiest to install?? Thanks in advance, JIM :)

K&N part number RU-2970   Amazon has or had them for $29.80+ free shipping

I didn't dyno the dif, but trust me there is one.  I used the lunchbox and rejetted and wow.  It's still an underpowered little 500, but it's more respectible now.   :thumb:

Could pull the front end up before but had to try hard.  Now I have to try a low less.  I should point out that my qty of wheelies is minimal, but it's a good guage for power.   :icon_mrgreen:

Yeah those overseas really cop it with K&N prices!!!

$110 AUS ($99 US ) is the cheapest I could find from a retailer (then they told me its out of stock).
