I did put on an RU-1470 back in December. It is a little smaller but it fits in perfect. I also put on an optional foam wrap over the filter. The performance is the same as the larger K&N filter that I had on before, I can't remember the model # right now. Make sure to tighten the clamp about once a month, it works its way lose.
OK, went to Pep boys today as well as an Autozone trying to find an elbow so I could plug the breather line back into the filter (trying to be "green"...blame my wife's influence ). Found nothing even close...can someone confirm that the hose is 0.5" ID and 0.75" OD?
Please, can anybody point me to a part number that will work? I'm not much of a wrench turner but trying to learn to do this kind of stuff on my own...
Read earlier where somebody used heater hose and a heater-hose connection elbow. More details would be appreciated...such as, how did you cionnect the breather line to the heater hose?
Leaving town tomorrow but anxious to install my HAI as asoon as I return.

on what you do to the engine bay/cowel partition. I left mine stock, and it's not that much louder. If you cut that up to get the advantage of the pressure there at speed, it's more like other CAIs....
Spend the $35 or so (www.ajusa.com) and see. If you don't like it you can move it via the Marketplace....
Where in gods creation do i put the battery terminal??
Mine stands on the cables. It could flop around under acceleration but not enough to hit anything hard enough to damage it, and the terminal is enclosed in plastic so there's no chance of a short.

Would I get better milage if I had less fun?
Yesterday, I installed an elbow on my K&N filter and plumbed a section of 1/2" ID heater hose from the driver's side valve cover into the elbow. Here's a quick pic:
This does away with the breather filter that I had and allows the crankcase vapors to enter the intake system, as they do stock. The elbow and the hose were about $3 each at the local Pep Boys.
How did you connect the line to the heater hose? What kind of elbow is that? I am dying to complete this mod but can't find either a breather filter that I know is the right size of an elbow.
I'm dying here!

Long and short, no more power, but beetter response. If you do other things to control the hot air injested, you can get more power out of it.
Matt
doc; do you suppose if the stock box were bigger the responce would be better ? or is it the path on the hai is so much shorter ? i know with bikes manufacturers spend many hours on air box design and volume for just that reason .

Never mind all the questions...with the help of a club mate, we installed a 15% pulley and K&N HAI today. With it 106 deg outside, I had no interest in turning off the A/C to see how it sounded
