K&N air filter....

another second hand product found its way into my car... haha..
this time is a K&N "UFO" air filter... bought it for RM150 at a workshop in malacca... previously used for less than a year and it has been washed and reoiled for me.... hehe.... so, its a good bargain lo... can almost consider as brand new as it has no defect on the filter element....



there is a hose connected to the original airbox... but since i've removed the airbox, this must be added to prevent dirty air being sucked into the engine...
in fact, it is not compulsory to fix a breather there la... some can also sumbat it with a screw...



since the way this filter is mounted on top of the carburettor, it is sucking in hot directly above the engine.... at high speed, there is no problem as cold air is being rushed into the engine bay constantly... but at lower speed, the temperature inside the engine bay can be vr hot... so, must figure a way to feed cold air to the air filter....
