Sound advice Kelly, thanks. Experience counts alot and that is what we are trying to share also. I did have a set sourced through Hall that used a one piece filter. Pretty sure there were K&N markings on them. No markings on the tops and bottoms.

I had a set of the four chrome K&N filters also. Sod those too.

Like you said, it's been a while. B.D.(before documentation)

I got to the point that I was considering using sheet metal screws through the bottom plate to hold the filters in place. Didn't do it, decided to go another way with them and just sold them.

The K&N's on my Webers right now are oiled and are not red. I just looked and it is K&N oil.
That's not an issue for me at all though. Just a point of interest.


It is a decision, difficult at times to make whether or not to run open stacks or not?
With Webers there is such a difference that the compromise is just to run screens often.
That really isn't a noticeable difference to me. Screens on the Webers is a very reasonable compromise to me.



I never really thought about the reverse engineering issue, that's more for manufacturers vs. users, but I suppose that anyone with a mill, better with a cnc mill can make these out of billet and they all pretty much look the same?

It isn't exactly like I just read about this on the internet. Having said that though there are and have been a bunch of variations and I never had them all.



Risk is a decision every individual must make for themselves?

Mike do you wear your raincoat and galoshes when you drive? Ever have a Pantera heater hose go on you? Wear the insulated ones.
