rulloyd Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 K&N managed to send me an incorrect air filter in the correct box Does anybody recognise it as they don’t want it back? It was supposed to be one of a pair for my CD150s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 It could be for a SU HS4. Goes to show how much K&N are making !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rulloyd Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Yes, £80 a filter..... lucky mine were a present. But if somebody wants this filter @ half price then win win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Ha its a must have even they dont want definitely SU if the bore is 1.5" then HS4 1.25 " HS2 families how you justify the costs of these with the hassle of tuning makes me wonder why anyone would bother over the std set up all you gain is a headache and lost pocket money Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Could be for a Mini? I think they end up with space restrictions that encourage use of an offset filter like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rulloyd Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Looking at the k&n website where they give the dimensions of their filters it looks like it’s an E-3211. “No vehicle applications”. !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day that's all we ever got: bin the nasty old air filter box and fit a set of K&Ns. Everybody was pushing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I would say that K&N's are more suited to Weber, SU & Dellorto, rather than Stromberg's - purely down to tuning on a standard engine which is what Pete is alluding to. IMHO, the ST airbox set-up on a standard Vitesse etc is more than adequate. I'd say, but could be incorrect, that the main issue with trying to match K&N's to Stromberg carbs is the restricted availability of needles etc for that carb. Conversely the other 3x carbs have a far better selection to hand. Regards. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
