hey thats cool! i wont have to buy any of those round metal tightening thingies? and what do you mean keep the resonator in place? whats a resonator?
and is there any other filter i can use? also, if you can just buy a plastic tube and a K&N filter, wouldnt something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/K-N-90-96-9...000332759QQrdZ1 work as good as any other short ram since it is a k&N filter? |

It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
