Got my new K&N air filter today from Ebay. :D

Here is the comparison of the AFE air filter to the K&N air filter.

Nice, that fatboy really makes a presence. I may have to finally make this upgrade as well.

BTW, how is your oil catch can mounted to the intake? That location seems to work out well.

Thanks.
I would do it ASAP, i didn't feel like re-oilin' the AFE filter after a week....

I have 2 allen bolts that fit the thread of the oil catch can, and then i have metal washers on the allen bolt head side [on the air filter side], and then between the CP-E divider.

+ 2. lol.

^^^ ORIGINAL THREAD for the "noobs"...


Sooo pleased, am I, to see others take to heart, this augmentation... and explore it on their own machines alike. Considering our motors are over-glorified "air-pumps", it stands to reason honking-off with a big schnoz should allow for freer breathing. (Kinda like a "breath-rite" nasal strip for the car?) I hope you have all found some merit in it's inception on your vehicles. I suspect any favor is incremental, at best, and a matter of degree that is greater measured in sentiment than in fact... nonetheless, I had a blast making the swap, posting the pictorial... rich in anecdote, and seeing a lasting response! :D

Personally, I like the improved (deeper, richer, less "nasal") intake sound, and the WFO roar, throughout the escalation when pulling-out the gears... and the DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED durability, (spelled: LESS MAINTENANCE), as well as what MY figmental imagination says is better performance, as well. (IMPERCEIVABLE in flat-out measurable differences, perhaps, but AURALLY and in RESPONSE, a better proposition, I think.)



Seriously guys, I'm pretty sure it is not a NEGATIVE move, and all signs seem to point to a thumbs-up on this one! :up:

(Has anyone found the mod a "poor" choice, or "not-recommended" for some reason? I wouldn't want to promote something that doesn't work in some cases!)


My sincere "THANKS" for those who carry on the tradition and post their crisperiences for us all to share.
