FREE does not Equal GOOD in many cases-looks like a waste of time (and money on a K&N).

Default I like the mod

Thanks for the great write-up on the this mod. I did it today and I noticed a definite increase in throttle response. I will head to the track in about a week and see if there are any improvements. Seems like a great alternative to paying $300 on an aftermarket part with similar design.

Hi maximum -

If I were starting over, I would have done the flip-tie and saved a ton of cash.

I like the idea of the mod, and the panel you have to cut is readily replaceable if you decide to go another route.

best regards -
