Sorry for all the posts, but I can only put one pic in each post.

You can post up to TEN pictures per post if you follow directions given.

You need to host the pictures on a picture hosting site, not GSR. Most are free, some are better than others, but all of them reduce the load on the GSR servers. When hosted, post the IMG link to each picture, along with an extra space between them, you can do ten full-size pictures per post. Oh, it also helps if the pictures are not FULL size that some cameras can do. A picture that is 800x600 is very comfortable.

Why was the setup cheap? Just cos it was not a name brand filter?
It looked functional to me though a bit space consuming.

It was cheap because... well, it honestly was cheap. I think it was under $20 each pod, and then I drilled and plumbed breather lines to them. The rubber boots were cracking really bad, so I dropped a little coin for the K&Ns - they were only $21 each!

Where did you get the breather hose filter? Do you remember the OD/ID of the rubber bit? My 450 hose is currently just venting onto my crankcase and in the cold weather has been dripping...

Was there any advantage of running the breather tube back into the pods? I was under the impression that it is only set up that way originally to please the emissions folks.

I got the breather filter at Autozone, and then had to cobble up a means of fixing it to the breather. I snipped a short bit of the OEM breather tube, clamped a hard plastic nipple in one end of said tube, and then slipped the filter down over the other end of the nipple. Turned out a LOT cleaner looking than I thought it would.

As for T-ing the breather tube back into the pods, I just did that because that's how the stock airbox is set up. The only advantages I could imagine are some upper cylinder lube and somewhat negative crankcase pressure at WOT - supposedly that's a good thing?
