V stacks AND pods?

V stacks from Velocity of Sound are on the way. I am going to perform two experiments.
1) stacks with glued in k&n filter (cut from my old flat filter)
2) stacks inserted into the 1750s (elbows cut off and glued in at base of filter)

I have the feeling that the stacks inside the filters will be best but I'm hoping #1 works too because it will look cooler...  ;D

Too bad it's getting cold. It may have to wait til the spring unless we (northeasterners usa)get a tiny heat wave...doing jet changes in these temps will likely throw off results.

um, #1 sounds like a horrible idea, if I'm picturing it correctly. are you saying you'll cut a circle from a K&N flat filter, and glue the pieces in/on to the bell opening of the stack? EEK! if thats the case, thats pretty much asking for the filter to get sucked into the intake, and be extremely restrictive even if it doesnt.

the amount of airflow possible is solely based on the surface area of the air filter (when comparing identical filter composition). so if you use only small pieces of the original filter, you're reducing the amount of possible airflow by however much filter element surface area you're discarding.

Good point. I will still try it but I will make sure to construct it so no filter pieces will be sucked in. I'm curious. It must be done. I've read on other bike forums of people doing it on CV carbs and having relative success. Dialing in is challenging though, i read. But I like bike related challenges, even to find that my efforts were unsuccessful.

Otherwise I may get a set of those pancake filters and see how that goes. Im also looking at heat welded polyester filter bags from Mcmastercarr. http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-filter-bags/=jzq553
I could cut them up and make booties of my own. Just not sure of which micron rating. Maybe 25...
