K&N #E-2435 is a drop-in and has just recently become available.

K&N RE-180 requires cutting out the baffle between the right and left air box chambers, trimming out a small portion of the lid, needs a home made adapter between the filter and intake hose, and does not have a mounting post on the "small end".

Grass didn't launch Greg Moore. Passing over a hump in the grass at about 200mph sideways is what launched him. Numerous race cars have vaulted through gravel traps as well.

Plenty of grass runoff on road courses is preferable to traps, barriers and concrete. Staying on the track is even better!! Ruts and drainage ditches in the run off area are the enemy.

I would agree that infield skirts on ovals should be paved with course asphalt to slow the car as much as possible before impact with an infield barrier. On a road course, plenty of green space is your friend!

[B]Also, this is OT, but Cdelena - in your avatar, you have a picture of some S2000's on a very pretty track... but correct me if I'm wrong, isn't grass run-off space considered unsafe.

I used a standard K & N filter in my s2k.

Dont remember the model # but used a 21/2" piece of the 3" dia piping used in the Injen intake to put in the end of the filter and the intake tube. Used a large hose clamp to make the seal very tight. NO CUTTING was required and there is no place for unfiltered air to reach the engine
The stock box was not altered in any way.

There's always another way to do things my friends, always.

yeah...
i got my mechanic to make a custom steal piping bout 2-3 inches deep that slides nicely into the "rubbery" intake..about a 10 min job for the pros to make this little piping...
then clamped down securely with a brace to ensure that no other air gets in...

yeap..always another way...
