Hadn’t seen this done before, but I removed the factory dead pedal and installed a kartboy one. The holes on the Kartboy are .5” further apart than stock, but luckily the twins have a second, higher hole that is perfect for mounting.

OK. Has anyone on here had related problems with the twins though from dropping in a high flow filter? From what I’ve read K & N seem pretty reputable. But I guess there’s always a risk though, right?

Does this fix the squishy-ness of the stock dead pedal?

The key to lowering any perceived risk is:

  • To not use excess pressure or rubbing when cleaning it.
  • Examine them when doing maintenance for damage or wear to the filtering material. Replace if suspect.
  • Don’t over oil after the cleaning. If it’s dripping you’re doing it wrong!

Have been running K&N filters since ’89 in my cars without any issues due to the filter.
No excess oil consumption, no sensors destroyed, some well past 300k/Km.

Should be fine but an interesting read none the less.

Exactly, oil will take out the MAF sensor. It will not destroy it but it will not work until you clean it correct.

Is there a trend towards dry filters again?

That's why I don't use them anymore. Too little gain for the potential risk.

Somewhat, but it seems like there is styrofoam directly behind the carpet which I didn't remove.

Good read, thanks for that. Maybe I’ll just add the Mishimoto silicon inlet tube, adds 3 whp and 2 tqs apparently with the stock filter, might be less risk and tidies the engine bay up a bit by getting rid of the sound tube, my main goal.

If you're looking for tidy, the sound tube delete is one part but I find myself bothered by the resonator tube that comes off of the side of the intake box. It seems to take up a lot of space for science I dont' understand And the TRD intake is just as wide as the stock box AND that resonator. Oh well.
