K&N's new intake kit

[Sonic_HedgeHog]

I'm not finding that open ended filter anywhere on the K&N site... I can email Troy and ask him.

I e-mailed Troy... I'll post up his response when I get it!

Troy's response:

"Hello Casey,

Good to hear from you! No headway on the MAF housing - We have tested a few in house and have determined that the filter was too tight on the housing causing it to collapse on the few we did receive.

As far as the 57i kit I'll assume you are talking about this... http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...?Prod=57S-4000 unfortunately the filter is not sold separately and is only sold out of our Warrington England plant, if you were to order one it would take months for it to get here because we do not stock the 57i kits at our US facility.

If you have any questions please let me know! Have a great day.

It says Green, but it is not green.

It's because it is one of those mind tricks...

I guess I'll have to pick one up the next time I'm in Warrington.

I think that everyone is missing the point of this lid. The lid may not be more "open," but what it does allow for a larger volume of air AROUND the filter. This give you the cool air of a closed lid, but almost as much volume as an open filter (without all the noise). This I like adding a taller air breather to a carb or a better flowing breather lid. There have been proven tests done for years showing the benefits of a high flow lid. Moroso makes one of the best short of the open K&N carb lid which some builders still do not like because of how it directs the flow.
