GT500 Pod Filters

Post by TrevorGT500 »

Can anyone advise what model K&N filter, would best fit a GT500 ?. I have some cheap pods, but after overhauling engine, want to ensure best protection.
Thanks Trevor

Just measure the back OD of the carbs, and order what will fit from a K&N supplier. I don't think it matters much which shape you use.....

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

What ever you use, don't get the ones with metal end caps.
They cause all sort of problems with pulse reflections in the intake tract.
I have been using Aussie made Uni Filters for years with no problems.

I have heard that before, but have never had problems with them. I have the cone-shaped K&Ns with metal caps, and they work fine. Perhaps foamies would work better.....
