Gutting Airbox Or K&n Filters

I was wondering what gutting the sir box does to the sled. I am thinking of putting K&N air filters on my sled this summer. What would be best???

i put k&n,s on my sled last summer and rode all this year with em with no problems, all i needed to do was just go up 3 main jet sizes. I like them, alot more room in the engine compartment. The bad thing is there is more intake noise but it doenst bother me 2 much i am used to it. As far as performance wise goes i dont really think it gave me a hp increase that i coudl feel. It makes it alot easier to get to the carbs tho!

Personally, just find them too noisy. Make sure you get the jetting right, or the consequences are severe.

Plus your engine is now sucking all that "HOT" underhood air :lol:

I shouldn't say anything, I have thrown a lot more money than that out the window. :lol:

the filter will give you more protection than the airbox did,,,, just make sure your jetting is right
