Reply #60 - 05/13/20 at 16:10:57 If you choose the VM, the jetting data in that post should be all you need to get it very close. Most likely, you will only need to groom the main jet for your application. The boot to connect the carb to the airbox is simply a 2" rubber coupling. This one is perfect.

Reply #62 - 05/13/20 at 16:15:35 If you want to set up a good air filter to support the additional flow, there is info in this old post that shows how to set up a 3.5" x 5" K&N filter in the stock air box. It allows retention of the stock side covers and igniter mounts. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1583103640/0#12

Reply #63 - 05/13/20 at 16:18:25 The only additional materials you need to set up that K&N cylindrical filter are the rubber coupling and a 2" ABS street elbow. It should be a "street" elbow (male to female). Of course you have to cut up the airbox a bit.

That kit Lancer sells is complete. It definitely has all the stuff you need except the rubber coupling and the street elbow. The UNI-Filter he includes will fit right up to the 2" elbow. The kit really takes all the hassle out of rounding up all the parts.

The VM38 isn't going to flow as well as the TM40, but I honestly think you will never be able to take complete advantage of the VM38 flow potential. At least not with the currently available performance parts.

Stay tuned to this forum. There's always a new trick or two.

Good luck, Mike
