problem?: Comptech icebox and k&n panel filter

[revivor]

Sorry for an old thread.

I'm thinking of changing my stock filter to the K&N panel filter. Can I just replace it without any mods to the filter box?
Thought it was an easy remove & replace. No hassle..

Yes, exact fit for the stock airbox in your Euro.

I love my Comptech IB with KN filter. I did the weather seal mod and that quieten it down. Much better than my Fujita intake as the fujita was a giant sucking drunken elephant and drove me nicking futs. Performance is the same.

Hey all. Sorry to revive this thread.
Attempted the weather seal mod today for my icebox. Bought 9.5mm weather seal from clark rubber and as previous diagrams show..aligned the lid of the icebox with this seal and put in the K&N.

Not happy with the outcomes... I've used the CT engineering filter for 2 weeks now and the car was feeling perfect but when I drove today with the k&n it was slightly sluggish and louder than usual. I pushed it hard to fully test it out and in 2nd gear I noticed it would lose power....sucks!

I was worried about why it was louder than the CT filter so I reopened it just now and as I was pulling out the KN the bloody weather seals werent solid to the lid!!

I've taken out the K&N and put the CT filter and the car feels great again. I'm glad I trusted my instinct or who knows what could of happened to my seal!!

Any had same experiences between K&N and CT Filter? I know people have said k&n is better and more quiet but not by my experience

Redo the seal.

Redo the seal.

I don't think it should be easily coming off if its new..... I won't bother now...Don't want the risk of it sucking into the engine. I prefer the CT filter now that I've tested both.

Redo the seal.

Yeah,just redo it.You mustn't have stuck the weather seal properly to the top of the airbox and or the bottom part.i've done it and it worked 1st. time no problems.
