Theo, and Tiger Owners,
The K&N filter is pre oiled when new, but you have to purchase the
replenishment oil for it's first cleaning. I believe it has the same
filter area as the stock paper one, but gives better flow. While a
taller one would be better, you will not be able to use an F4B and
Holley LAT 1 hirise, as it will hit the hood, even if it is the LAT hood.
