I've done major surgery on my stock air box to keep my K&N cool...
also, I've insulated everything with foil faced 1/4" styrofoam held in place with silicone caulking, & sleeved/insulated my intake pipe.
The stock elbow into the fender cavity has also been removed & large chunks of the front & fender sides of the air box removed, so now it only draws air from the fender cavity & behind the headlight.
I know this works because last time Kenny & I were on a road trip we compared IAT readings (he's stock) while rolling down the same stretch of road...it was ten degrees cooler.![]()
And Kymar, I like your style...make what you need with what you got.![]()
It may not always be pretty, but the job gets done.![]()
