What pods are you running?
I have been scouring over the old posts and from what I gathered there are two types of KN and then the Emgo pods. I have a stage three Dynojet kit and a 4-1 exhaust going on the 550, but before I get the pods, I just wanted to see what the Veterans are using.

K&N if you want an easy install on the Dynojet... the others don't flow anywhere near as well.

God's Country is the Hill Country NW of San Antonio. Some of the best backroads in the country.

It'd have to be the singles, wouldn't it? I'm no pod expert or anything, but wouldn't the doubles not fit between your carbs and the frame?

Well,they are the ones that KN calls for, but that is kinda what I am thinking too.

I would sure appreciate a part number for the individuals if anyone has it, there are a lot of choices from KN, I just dont know what ones to get.
I am going to go with the 4 filters not the 2 that are connected.
Thanks for the help guys...

They are sized according to the opening on the carb. Just figure out what you want from this chart. http://www.knfilters.com/search/UnivOvalTap.aspx

To be honest, I think the 2 "double" pods instead of individuals would flow better. Although cylinders 1 and 2 and then cylinders 3 and 4 share a filter, only one is pulling air at a time which gives it a larger surface area to pull from. Just my .02

I didn't know that the individuals have built in velocity stacks.. And I agree with Liloaty on that as well I was thinking the same way too. I think a K and N in the air box would be the best way to do it if you opened the air box up a little for that reason each cylinder pulls separately and gets to use the entire filter to pull through plus the inertia of the air continues because each cylinder pulls right after the other instead of every other cylinder with the dual pods or 1/4 of a revolution with the individuals. BUT it is soo easy to remove the carbs with the pods rather than with the air box on. Anyway this was my thinking on the entire thing but it may work out a lot differently than it looks on paper..
