Would you have a recommendation where to start with a Ryca flat pod filter, and a freer flowing exhaust? Still looking into what exhaust specifically, but it will be a cheaper shorty exhaust off of amazon or ebay, or even stock exhaust for now.
In LA, so my elevation is between 300-800ft depending what part of the valley I'm in.
With an all stock engine start with the #50 pilot and #150 main jet, 2 washers in place of the white spacer. Be careful when removing the 2 tiny screws in the slide to remove the white spacer. They are typically pretty tight and can be striped, so get a real good fitting screwdriver and tap with a hammer to loses them. I use a small impact driver with the slide mounted on a vice with the needle of the slide between the jaws and holding it gently. This gives a good solid base to work on and makes the removal a bit easier.
If you have an old desktop computer box some of the tiny screws inside can be used to replace the softer stock screws holding the needle. They are made of much better metal and don’t get torn up.
I think the little filter in the RYCA kit is too small for our engine if you want it to run best. I think they choose it because it fit the space better for their purpose. It is “ok” but not the best. I like the Uni filter, it performs best of other types, is very cost effective, being foam it is easier to install and will conform to the space, and has two layers with the outside layer being removable. Cost is $20 compared to $50 for a K&N pod.
I use a Cone Engineering muffler on my Savage,
REX.They are all stainless steel, assorted shapes, sizes, choice of baffling or none, and cost an average of $150.
Just some thoughts to consider now or later.
