Why not take the whole air box out and clip the filter directly on?

[jack123]

how would i clip a panle filter on??

[Liam_LFC_VTR]

Oh yeah panel filter...... not too sure on that

I've got a cone filter and took the air box out and used a jubilee clip to attach it straight on..........

[vtrvinnyboy]

im going to do the same thing, but i will be smoothing out the inside of the air box first.

Why not change your air box & ducting over to a VTS 1 that way you can put a panel filter on.

[jack123]

[vtrvinnyboy]

how u mean mate??

ive been reading on here about smoothing out the inside of the standard air box and putting in an aftermarket hi flow panel filter or cartridge, whatever it might be. Using all the existing pipes. Smoothing refers to the inside of the air box
