Ron,
Regarding your message below and the heavy duty syncro air filter....
You stated that, "It will provide significantly better filtering capability
for not a lot more money."
What do you mean by better filtering capability?
Does that mean it filters out smaller particles?
Or does that mean that it will last longer?
(Typically in the world of filters, for a given size filter the smaller the
particles filtered the sooner it will get clogged.)
Do you know anything about the K&N filter? Would it be appropriate for
Syncro off road use?
Thanks
Bill
