    I decided to replace the factory Douglas canister with S&B 75-5045 air box & high flow filter, with a claimed air flow increase of up to 44.4% over stock filtration setup "a tall claim indeed" and yes it is a real big improvement over a K&N inside the Douglas canister.

I'm interested in results from others who have made gear/tire changes and what results good/bad then type...
