Do these filters allow more clearance between the filter and the inner
fender than stock? I have been told that with me putting a 2L in a
low-screen 1600, I will have clearance problems with stock air cleaner
assembly-inner fender and brake master. Although expensive, the K&N's
sounds like an acceptable solution versus modifying the inner fender.
While on the subject, I have two 1600 air cleaner assembly's. If I don't go
the K&N route, I was considering modifying one of these to bolt up to the
2000 SU's. Are there different filter options or thicknesses that would
allow for additional airflow so it can breath?
Thanks again!
(preparing for a 3 day vacation spent primarily on the roadster!)
