Default Anyone try this?

I'd like to put an air intake on but don't want to spend 250+. I was curious if anyone has bought one of the cheap dual cone intakes on ebay and simply replaced the filters with K&N. Seems by doing this you could have a decent intake for under 150. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try the zip tie mod with a hood seal/weather strip. Cost me less than 10 bucks and they say its good for 10hp at the rear.

There was a post a while back on those (Chrome dual pipe jobs on Ebay) and it was determined that they actually can make less power!!!


I think there was some restrictions in the tubing and something about a reduction in pipe diameter...if you are interested- I may have a Donaldson Blackwing for sale in your price range...its a takeoff from a fellow forum member...I am buying a Haltech Stinger so I woun't be needing this filter...there is another member considering it- but if he passes...maybe we can talk...

Thanks! Bob
