ok im online looking at the sites i know i can buy filters, but i kinda like the horn filter, cant find any of course, but what kinds are out there and what would you guys said would be the best type of pod filters to buy?

My opinion is the larger oval-shaped pods will tend to reduce the surging at steady speed problems some (most) riders will encounter.

I use K&N oval pods on my K8,of course went thru the re-jetting process. Here is a link, I actually measured my carb throats and went to the K&N website, got the P/N and then had O'reilly auto parts special order them. I think it was a bit cheaper, they are expensive but they should last forever. Here is a pic on my K8.

ya those are nice, but damn they're expensive! are the oval shaped pods better for any resin? i like the horn pods but cant find where to buy them.

I don't know if oval is better, seems like more surface area , I just didn't want round like everyone else !

What exactly is a horn pod ? Maybe I can help locate

Loki · « **Reply #7 on:** February 16, 2010, 07:33:41 PM »

it kinda looks like the end of a trumpet on each of your carbs

If the filter is reasonably free flowing, then the air intake should not be upset, with the possible exception of WOT where the flow characteristics might get challenged.

ya theyre not as nice as the other ones, but when it comes to performance, practicality,and all that jazz, would it be better to go with a pod filter?

george · « **Reply #15 on:** February 16, 2010, 07:56:17 PM »

Ok here is the whole pod vs air box thread, only about 65 pages, some hate pods , some love em. Check it out ! Are you using synthetic oil ?

I was stepping on a slippery subject, again my bad, let's tackle the pods and the all balls then we can deal with oil !

Loki · « **Reply #19 on:** February 16, 2010, 08:18:33 PM »

lol, no problem, and thanks for the help so far. im really just look ing for something thats looks good, like the velocity stems, but if that not as practical then im go with pods, .......affordable pods. lol ( i dont like the cone shape ones)

Loki · « **Reply #20 on:** February 17, 2010, 05:05:37 AM »

are there any better types/affordable ones? i think spending 200 on a set of four is a little to much.

Loki · « **Reply #21 on:** February 18, 2010, 04:52:43 PM »

ok so here are a few more affordable ones what are everyone's thoughts>? are the pancake ones better? or is it just fine to go with cone filters? anyones have or seen better ones?
