Done the k&n air filter this morning with a time of approx half an hour. took a few pics and did not crack the cover.

Of to give it a wash next :happy2:

Nice write-up!! Good to hear that you didn't have too many problems!

Suprised that you can hear the difference from the filter! I heard nothing whatsoever from mine!
