K & N prices have gone a bit silly in the last few years. I had a quote from Link for one of Han's tappered filters about 4 years ago at $165, I finally saved up enough so emailed Hans late last year, now they are $250+, not saving any more for one

Rocket Industries:

KN56-1630 $136inc ./in stock (each)
1-1/4" SU AIR FILTER ASSEMBLY 5-7/8" D x 1-13/16" H

+ PLUS FREIGHT $$

Engine bay need's a bit of a clean there nic

bring that to the muster and you know who will give you a 2(engine bay score)

I don't think it would make it to the muster like that I took that picture when I was doing the timing chain

Will have to get some judges that accept bribes

I've got two of these sitting around. I had forgotten I wanted to get them fitted up for a change of engine bay scenery, so only got around to ringing up and asking about Unifilter elements for them. They want 45 dollars per filter to make up a pair of custom inserts...unfortunately the filter size is non-standard for both K&N, Ryco and Unifilter. But they do have an inner and outer cage to keep it all together.

I make DrMini alloy stubstacks for K&Ns if you ask nice.

Here's 2 sorts I've made-

Didn't think you were still interested after you saw the price sorry Hanra.

I'll write a note on my hand now and do it for you tonight.

any idea how much better air flow you would get?

Buy the stub stacks from Dr Mini - as per his post above.

I don't know if air flow is improved that much but I swear the throttle response improved slightly (could be a placebo effect though ). Still sounds cool when you tell people you have stub stacks on your carby's

I found off idle response improved, with both SUs and Dellortos.
Vizard shows one similar in his book, reckoned it to be worth over 5% improved flow.
GR reckons any radius over 3mm works. My current ones are 5mm radius.

They must work- I've got 2 dyno day NA big block trophies to prove it.
