    Few points noticed - pros & cons
    Pros
    Torque increase in lower gears.
    Sweet sound.
    Easy to clean the filter. (DIY)
    No jetting was done. (correct me if I am wrong - Jetting is required only in case of irregular fit!)

    Cons
    Knocking sound in high traffic conditions. (maybe due to fuel)
    Engine hiccups start soon after around 300 kms of service.

    All in all, I am not planning on changing back to stock, as of now.... satisfied!!!
    Not very sure if anyone else here tried UNI!!
    Knocking should not happen because of the AF. It might be due to irregular fuel.

    What engine hiccups are you talking about?

    Cheerz!!
    The real beauty lies in throttle's twist!!

    Headlight can be replaced, Head cannot be. Wear a helmet.

      Ok, maybe you're true. I felt it because it was very prominent & visible after the installation, like I almost never had that before!!!

      EDIT - Well, maybe I had that before but since the whole bike sounds different, I guess the knocking sound is also a tad bit louder.

      Sorry for not using appropriate jargons momentarily (noob ), I was actually referring to the part when you hold your clutch and release during dense traffic conditions mostly, you feel a sudden jerk in pulling the engine (my bike talkin' to me!!), which is not there after a good service. Most forums (don't remember) defined it as hiccup due to prolonged gaps in between service that include engine oil change, chain lubrication etc. etc.

      Well, maybe all these are completely unrelated to the filter performance but then it'll only remove the cons of the filter,right??
