Filter Charger

[MHanrahan]

Does anyone know if the KN Filter charger kit will work with the 1998 OHV, at the local parts store they say it will deffinately work with the 1997, but they dont know about the 98.

Does your 98 have a cylindrical airbox with a conical filter housed just behind the passenger side headlight? If so, the same model filter that works for the 97 should be fine. If you are looking to save money you may want to do what I did.

I removed my airbox and made a do-it-yourself version of the $90 Filtercharger. It takes no skill and costs about $2.50 plus $40 for the filter. If you are like me, $40 is not something I can afford to spend when I can do it myself. It takes about 10 minutes and the step by step instructions are here:

It should also work if you have a rectangular air box since that is what my '97 had before I put the K&N FIPK in it. Then again, my '97 has the SOHC V6 rather than the OHV.

10 minutes with a Dremel using the multipurpose cutting bit. Its really loud when you cut it!
