Be *SURE* the stacks you get will work inside the filters you get. As I
recall the TWM stacks will not work with K&N filters. While they are
excellent designs otherwise, I believe they will not work properly with
*any* of the K&Ns. I believe they are too tall and perhpas also too
wide. Gary says they work fine with the ITGs (which I do not care for
for a number of reasons - I was toying with them about 2 years before
TWM started carying them and I had problems with them), but I think some
of the designs I saw were going to have problems even in the ITGs. The
distance from the horn to the top of the filter is the question (and
even though the ITG breaths through the top, the bracing in the tiop can
still present restriction and cause turbulence if the horns are too
close to it IHMO)
Also, I don't know if David at APT is still selling the cast aluminum
stub stacks from K&N in england, but if he is, don't get them. Get the
ones I designed, they are better by far (since he is offering my design
now, I'll bet he isn't offering the Brit ones but thought I'd mention it
just to be sure).
I can't believe I am sending people to these guys to buy bootlegged
versions of *my* air horns...ah welllll.
