Re: Air intake design & modifications
Thanks Roger,
Do you think it will fit the Cosmo pipe size at the flange? Isn't our pipe size 3 inch? If so, the flange of this filter seems to only go to 2.75 inch..is that OK?
I got the K&N links open and just waiting for the distributor to open their doors in about 20 minutes from now. I will call and get prices for both filters and both covers and update it here.
No need to take this off-line, as it'll be of interest to others for sure.

Thanks Roger, one more important note that the DIY Installation Guide didn't mention, so am gonna add that in.
My apologies to Ryan. the DIY Guide DOES mention the fact that the supplied filter doesn't come pre-oiled. I must have missed that bit when doing the install.

Called the K&N distributor just now and was advised that these filters are not available for the Australian market and need to be ordered from the US (through them) so I think you will have a better luck inquiring about them from Canada than me.
They will come back to me with pricing on both filters types and both dry covers, but it'll be good if you can initiate an inquiry from your end as well, so we can compare prices.

Re: Air intake design & modifications
Roger,
I have oiled my filter as soon as I got back from work and measured it. It is indeed 3 inch at the flange.
This means that the filter we need to be looking at is the RX-4990 or the RU-4990 (HERE)
I prefer to go with the RX type which would give more airflow, as it doesn't have the rubber base.

Re: Air intake design & modifications
Good stuff Roger. I will now intitate an inquiry through my contacts for this filter type and the cover, hopefully I can get a good price for it. I think it'll be worth the money paid for it in the long run.
