k&n filter question quick question guys,
do i need that lining that comes with the filter... you know the one that goes on the lid?
well, i was asking because mine is coming off, well its 1/2 way on and off. Can I just take it off? Does it serve a purpose?
Thanks, Laters.

Re: k&n filter question you are probably referring to the gasket that goes around the filter to give it a seal...but most people take that pos off and use some thin weatherstrip from a local hardware store.....just apply it around the edges of the lid and it will give you a tighter seal of the airbox which is very important......that is if you have an aftermarket high flow lid of course....and having a tight seal is crucial when having an aftermarket high flow lid.......so yes you do need it....pick up some weatherstrip from a Lowes or Homedepot and apply it...it will only set you back a couple of bucks!!.....but it will ensure you of a tight seal so no air will come out....FWIW.....I have heard of some people's original K&N gasket to come off and sometimes being sucked into the MAF....no problem if you have the screen in <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ...but if you don't... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> bad news bro......hope that helped and welcome to the board....check out the Texas forum...alot of H-town people over there!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
