Only conical filters have the potential to cause atleast noticeable difference provided the carb is tuned properly with right size jets. Needless to say, conical ones will also cause more harm than the stock replacement.

              But there are safer at the same time some change in performance can be noticed.. not at a higher side.. but yes.. some difference..

                so do you recommend a conical shaped air filter for my Unicorn and also it's a Universal air filter, RC1060 or just ask me to stay with the stock. . ?

                  I'd say "Stay Stock" always. Moreover, spending 2-3k for a slow poison without any worthy performance improvements is not a wise idea IMO.

                    Thanks dude, i went through the site after that

                    Stock replacement will not show any
                    difference apart from the bike breathing easy, there wont be any grunting sound or any performance difference also i feel..conical filters will show difference in overall but only problem is life of engine..can anyone shed light as in how will the conical filter will affect the bike and what will be the utmost damage to the engine

                    Thank You

                      A conical filter flattens the torque curve and lets the engine rev freely because of the excessive air intake. It shows a minimal improvement in performance, but trust me; it's very minimal. Rather, its the sound that makes you feel you're going faster. You can test this using multiple GPS enabled devices.
                      Been there, done that!

                      Utmost damage to engine - Seizure!

                        Hmm a smarter option is to use stock replacement of K&N and for the sound to use FFE

                          ok leave this and I think this is an Off topic, what about FFE, do they cause any harms to the vehicles or engine except the sound. . ?

                              An FFE without other mods won't give much performance boost. Sadly, even they cause some harm.
                              See, an exhaust is designed keeping various points in mind - thrust, engine performance, back pressure, scavenging data etc. So, until n unless an exhaust is specifically designed for your bike, stay away from them.

                                Well.. true.. but it somehow helped my splendor boost some power.. by the way.. it was a custom made FFE
