    • REPORT ABOUT HP AIR FILTER

      as i have said,yesterday i helped my friend install a HP airfilter on his Rx and after that i couldnt wait to hear that awesome sound again and again ....

      a airfilter replacement was on the cards but i was skeptical about the installation because the mechanic old me to remove the air box but after observing 2 breather pipes connected to it i opted out ..but suddenly the sound was so addictive i figured out a way and it seemed like TVS thought that people will do this the main pipe which connects the carb and filter box can be just pulled out .. as simple as anything .. after that just plug in the filter on the carb and volla !!!

      changes felt --
      1.who ever said ,,, '''i used to touch 130 but after KN i am touching 135'' is a big FALSE
      even i felt the perfo has increased but i am 99%sure that this is only because of the SOUND !!
      2.i dont know wht .. as soon as i push[slightest touch] the ignition switch its responding very well and didnt turn off
      3.people stare at you ..so be prepared its a attention seeker

      the biggest VASOOL i had was that
      the sound it produces completely eleminates the sound of the engine which is = NO TAPPET SOUND
      this is just the sound cannot be heard , not that the tappets have become tight

      all the myth that it decreases the low end torque is FALSE .. but i will keep on checking as people say that the sound causes this misconceptions



      price is 600.. installation is VERY VERY simple and gives you a self satisfaction after its done :P

                    That's a good report buddy... looks like it alters the exhaust note big time... if possible could you rev the bike at standstill while recording the sound and post it here?

                      a small correction

                      it doesnt alter the EXHAUST note .. it changes the ENGINES sound ..
                      yeah .. more than standstill the bike ROARS while riding

                      ill post it on youtube and post the link

                        dude if ur running lean, then be ready to see ur bike's heart getting some serious heart-attacks

                        running lean will overheat the valves, piston, piston rings, n more...
                        u will spend more amount of money on replacing ur engine internals than wat u will ever save on petrol.

                        it would be feasible if u atleast richen the mixture then give up the high flow air filter....

                        jus for the sake of SOUND, u will sacrifice a lot of things....

                        rest is upto u.

                            why dont u remove air box and fix the filter in that place by hose pipe? u will get better results.

                              Unless u re-jet, ur rings, valves will get fried and the piston might even seize. Re-jetting will not reduce some 10-15 kmpl. U might loose a max of 2 - 3 kmpl.

                                if i do that , then a vital part of the bike which is breather pipes will be left open to dust

                                are you serious ? i thought it reduces 7-8kmpl ..
                                if that is the case then i dont mind
                                what is the cost , size , anyother things which i am missing ?
