Sounds like ground hog day, stock for me I like the canary chirping sound of the air intake

Well if the new one's crap too then they deserve whatever negative press they get. The more I hear about Ramair, the better K&N look.

Well $hit...I was just about to pull the trigger on one until I saw this post. Please update this thread when you get a response from them. Thanks

First I've seen about the new model cracking. Just fitted mine and so far so good. I did try to tighten the hose clamps as little as I dared, while still keeping the filter on there.

AFAIK - you're the first - I had a series 1 on and no issues - Ramair insisted on fitting me an upgrade when I visited - no problems. tbh the new one would stay on without hose clamps.

I don't think i over tighten it but over 2 weeks it cracked under the clamp and slip off

I had one of the 1st re mould filters ( had because ive now sold my r3 )and @barbagris has the same the only reason they split is because the clips are over tightened and maybe not seated full down causing the clip to ride ride over the mouth of the throttle body IMO .

It's a lot harder to misalign the new model that has the indentation to match the throttle flange. It sort of "pops" on there when you put it on with the Mk 2. How to define "over-tightening" I suppose is trickier.
