Twin Air Filters
11/25/12 at 19:12:07

My 2 air filters arrived today. I am going to attempt to fit them both. I have seen pics of a Savage with twin filters and thought it looked cool. This mod is mainly for cosmetic reasons how ever I do want some performance improval as i have put bigger jets and have a larger custom header and muffler. If the twin filter doesnt work I will just fit the one. So I am headihg into this blindly and should prob do these posts when I have finished, Instead I am going to post pics as I go and seek advise.

I want to keep the stock air filter in so I can use it to store alot of the wiring, and use it for storage.

Try to have as long as the rubber ducky that was between the carb and the airbox.

There will be 120mm from one filter to the Tee and 100mm from the other. Would that br enough?

I think you would need that distance between the carb and the tee.

I think I might be heading into uncharted territory here.

This distance is best described as the length of that rubber duct. This is eliminate the turbulence in the air flow. There are other methods. But many people put on a pod filter and are disappointed.

Posts: 610 Russia, Samara Gender:	Re: Twin Air Filters Reply #13 - 11/25/12 at 20:54:57 the idea in General is interesting . the only pity is that in my climatic conditions it does not apply. I once tried to put a similar air filters. from a technical point of view do not see much reason to . for normal operation of the engine is more important in this case, the diameter of the inlet pipe.

I noticed Savage_rob fitted a pod straight onto the carb without that straight. Did it work for him?
