Air cleaner cover

Dougathon · 11-10-2017, 04:37 PM

Has anyone tried cutting and screening the center of the air cleaner cover to get more air and keep the stock look 🤔

Why not keep the air cleaner cover stock and install a BAK from Chucksters

BAK from Chucksters

Dougathon · 11-10-2017, 05:13 PM

I wanted to keep the stock covers. It was just a thought

Chucksters has BAK that keep the stock covers

You could be more specific and state the year and engine size.

It might look good but I don't think it would really get more air in.
If you have a stock exhaust system than more air can't get out.
So it would probably be more cosmetic than anything.

If I remember correctly RacnRay tried that approach and when he ran his skoot on his dyno the performance had dropped off.

Just remember you are dealing with a "tuned" system.

Ray returned the cover to stock and the performance came back.

If I remember correctly.

Was going to say the say thing, you beat me to it.

Are you two implying that you get better performance with a stock air cleaner system vs. a BAK, or just the mod that was suggested in this thread?

redjay · 11-12-2017, 10:47 PM

We are talking about 2014 Nomad.
Dougathon, are you talking about cutting out the centre of the stock cover on the left side (gear shift side ) ?

To all who are looking at doing air cleaner mods, want more performance and keep the stock look.

If you have not done so - Ivanize your ECU and you can leave the air cleaner alone.

It will run so much better you won't care what's under the Stock Air Cleaner.
