Default Budget Intake !!

I recently read on another forum about the possibility of removing the stock airbox and just clamping on a K&N filter onto the end. I guess you would just have to find one of the correct diameter. Has there been any discussion on this budget mod? Does it work? I know there is a better way, just don't have the $$ to do everything I want to do all at once.

Thanks !!!

Search this forum for the "zip tie mod" and you'll find plenty of info. Well, at least if the search is working properly now and the archives are back.

It's not just a budget mod. I've got a K&N filter on mine with no air box to allow air to get to (and through) the filter. K&N makes a kit that includes the filter and air duct available through a number of vendors. I got mine from WCC.

Not really asking about the K&N intake. Asking if it is possible to just buy a $59 conical K&N filter and strap it directly in place of the stock air box.

I guess you could do this, but remember you have a hose that connects to the stock air box. Not sure exactly what it does, but you may want to check it out first before you buy.
