So i went to my local stealer/parts dealer to get a new air filter. They did not have it in stock but could order it for $57! WTH is that the normal price? I mean i could get a new lunchbox for that which id like to do, then id have to rejet tho =(
last time i bought a stock one was 25.00 a k&n stock filter with the restrictor in it is only 50.00
Looks like ill just order it online. I dont see the benefit of a K&N if it has a restrictor.
Just got a K&N for mine...the stock price was $30, the K&N was $57. With dealer discounts it came to $50 or so. The restrictor is optional on the K&N, and is provided so that you don't absolutely have to rejet right away. Restrictor or not, the K&N is nice in that you never have to replace it--just clean, oil and go.
So i can get a K&N lunchbox and not use the restrictor without causing it to run too lean and possibly burn up my motor?
If you use the lunchbox filter, You have to rejet.
K&N also makes a filter that fits like the factory filter. It has an optional restrictor because it flows better than a paper filter.
If you don't use the restrictor, you still have to rejet.
Be safe.

As puddlejumper said, lunchbox means rejet no matter what. The filter I used is the K &N drop in, same size as stock. I'm using the restrictor right now, but when I rejet, I'll rejet without the restrictor.
Hope that helps
Yep thanks guys
