400ex UNI Filter owners...

[RiPPiNiTuP7]

When you installed your UNI Filter on your EX did you have to trim off the black stoppers on the bottom of the air box? I only ask because the filter hits them and I didn't know if it would eventually rip a hole in the filter or something :confused2 Am I just being too paranoid?

Theres two black "fins" on the bottom of the airbox..I noticed when the filter is installed correctly they stick into the filter...so I wasn't sure if I should trim them down, or leave them...

I run a twin air which is a foam filter and never had a problem, it rubs them ,no rips

i would just leave them, i have cleaned the filter a couple of times since i installed it and i havent noticed any problems. i dont think your paranoid but its something that i wouldnt worry about.

i just bent mine to each side and the filter fits fine

I trimmed mine off. No sense in letting those thing dig into the filter while its bouncing around and stuff from the off road abuse. I was worried it would rip it eventually. Better safe the sorry.

i've had mine for over a year and i didn't trim anything the filter is just fine.

I have a K&N and I was having the same problem so I just cut those fins off. There is no need for them unless you put the stock filter back in and why would you do that? Cut them.

I left them in my stocker and have had no problems with my filter in 2 years. Now I have a custon aluminum air box\ battery box thanks to KAWSAM62:devil

what would be a good jet to add in with a UNI?

Dude bend those things way down and they will snap off. That's what I did and it works great.
