Hi Bud, and Listers, I agree with you, I just think that the largest difference comes from removing the top, not from removing the element - especially if you're using the K&N element instead of the

Larry, If you are 'breathing' that heavily that you need more surface area, you can still use your stock air cleaners. The issue would be using the same K&N filter element diameter, but taller. This

Thanks, Steve. What I had been thinking about sorta followed that line, but with a twist. How about a drop-down base that allowed the stock (or in my case, LAT2) top, and doubled "stock size" element

Hi Larry, Since you don't have a LAT hood, one option is to use or make a snorkel adapter, where you run one or two 3" hoses to the horn vent holes, to plumb into one or a pair of filters that sit ah

Alex, what is the open mesh top K&N, and is this a separate filter housing for the Tiger? Looked in Summit and did not see. Thanks Larry

Hi Larry-K&N introduced an open mesh filter top approx. 2 years ago and almost immediately took them off the market because the top would collapse under pressure. K&N subsequently redid their constuc

Steve-I think your analogy is correct. Subsequent to the dyno test, I am now trying to get the maximum amount of air possible into this engine, by fitting the largest, least restrictive filter that w

Following that line of reasoning,I sure hope adding an open mesh top will allow sufficient air to go directly down the top of the carb.Alex

It's interesting to also compare the pressure drop to the flow needed by engine. Just starting with round numbers, a 300 cu. in. engine turning 6,000 rpm would pull in 521 cu. ft. per minute; that's
