Air box, removal and air filter change?
10/02/05 at 08:36:57
I have seen pictures of savages, with the air box removed and either the stock filter on or even cone shaped filters that remind me of the popular intakes on cars these days. What options do i have to remove the airbox and put in a higher perfomance filter?

If u want to stay stock there is an awesome deal in the marketplace for a k&n drop in filter for like 25.00 with only 600 miles.
I took out my airbox, put two 90 degree pvc pipes with pvc glue(covered in black electrical tape) and put a 2.5 inch car cone filter on it. Here is a pic of it.

with changing the filter and the I had to rejet. Most ppl go with a 155 main jet and a 55 pilot jet. Some people get the dynojet that has an adjustable needle. I went with a 157.5 and a 55 pilot and it works great. I noticed a huge increase in power and my gas mileage isnt too noticible of a drop. I was thinking of just taking off the pvc pipes and putting a small sock filter kinda like greg650 has but smaller. Im not all about welding stuff and I think his straight shot from the carb is prob the most efficient method. I miss my side covers, because the attach to the airbox itself. Oh dont forget the crankcase breather hose. I got a mini filter for it.

The K&N drop-in is a direct replacement for the original stock filter and is just like other K&N filters in that it is designed to be a permanent filter. You clean it, oil it, maybe put a bit of sealant grease on the edges and put it back in. I use it and I like it a lot. To get one for $25 is a good deal. Mine cost $40 + S/H. If you want a pod but don't want to relocate a lot of stuff, there's always this method posted in the Technical Corner:

best bet is to go down to AutoZone or an auto parts store and let them order it.
I cant remember the exact size for the savage. I used a different size to get it to fit the pipe.

About $40 USD. If directly to the carb, 2.25 ", I think. See tech sect.
