My RE-0880 needs help

[Chipstien]

I recently lost the airbox but was wondering how everyone has been fastening down their K&N filters. Just doesn't seem right to just let it lay there on the fenderwells. Any suggestions?





P. S. Do not really want to cut into the cowling for a sycottie or others alike. Also, new member and first time post. Thanks!

I glued a small round piece of ethafoam to the end of the RE-880, about 2" long. Then I cut some blocks of foam to fit in the corner near the door hinge, and cut a round depression in those blocks for the end piece to rest in. Seems to work well; been there about 9 months and haven't had to reglue.

I just installed mine yesterday and the filter fits in the corner so tight I didn't think it would go and it is not about to move or go anywhere. I bought and used a 4" - 3" PVC reducer and had to cut about 3/4 " off each end so the filter unit would even go at all.

Do you think we can make the 0880 quieter if we build a stainless L piece to put over it? The L piece would be the length of the filter, maybe a little longer & attach to the fenderwell on the bottom & on the side of the engine compartment, right over the 0880, as high as possible so as not to interfere with the hood.

When I had just the 0880 before the Psychotty,the end of the filter fit snug up against the corner of the cowl without bouncing or anything. I did put a sliced open piece of vacuum line on the edge of that curved bracing so it wouldn't rub into the filter.

yes it needs to be propped up , i left mine just hanging and it rubbed thru a pleat or two vibrating against the smooth flat surface of the heat sheild i made and secured to the bolts that held the stock airbox in place .



forrest , as far as it making the whine quieter with this in place , not for me it didn't , but mines made of a scrap piece of thin alum i had laying around and has a couple cutouts to clear the a/c lines and shock stud , need to make a rev b version when i find the time ...
