Air Filter. How Big?

[Dan_GTiR]

Hi there peeps. How things going?

I'm looking to buy a new air filter as my old Pipercross one is looking rather tattered now. I am also going to move the filter to where the battery sits, and partition if off with a stainless steel guard.

I am looking at buying a universal filter and to get a fairly big one, as I am making up a new intake pipe and MAF adaptor at work, as it is being re-located (as stated above.)

I am looking for some advice on how big I should go, and what type of material the filter should be made of?

Your input, pictures and any other info on this, will be grately appreciated.

Thanks

Dan.

Thanks Sirnix.

But how big should I go, eg. 100mm inlet, 150mm x 100mm diameter,
and looking from that previous thread it's a choice of 2 materials.

Your views?

Cheers

Dan.

to be honest...anything past 70mm is too much...if you think about it everything gets restricted to 40mm at the MAF anyway.

Thanks for the advice.
