[QUOTE="Wicked Webby, post: 705513, member: 5498"] Just so you know.. My method was very well proven on the dyno. Gave me around 25,000 trouble free miles (with doing proper air filter cleaning's and re-charging). I do not know how Pickles panels failed like that. I suspect it could have been from over bending the wires on the KnN panels along with over oiling. Because my mod will allow your FJR to breath. My buddy BigR on his C14 use to joke that my air box howled and would suck my legs together! It did sounded awesome. My Brothers 06 FJR is another example (current FJR's) still running this mod without any problems. If I still had an FJR, I wouldn't hesitate to "chop the box." The ONLY down side to the KnN flat panels (if you don't mess them up) is that you need to clean them say every oil change or so.. They allow a lot of air in and get dirty faster than pleated panels. The title of this thread should have been, "How not to try and do Wicked Webby's Air Box mod by UselessPickles." Happy HP hunting fellas. Do not let Pickles blunder scare you away from a proven setup. BTW, the Techlusion/Dobeck was/is a great tuner. It was proven on the road and the dyno. WW [/QUOTE]
