since I cant justify spending 200 plus dollars on an air intake, im going to venture out tomorrow and buy myself a regular conical filter element, eliminate my airbox and slap that bad boy onto my stock intake tube and see what happens, has anyone done this? I believe on the UK type r board someone used the BLITZ filter on his stock tubing, i figure take what Honda has given me and modify it to work a little more to my liking? cheap, effective, HOPEFULLY --joe
