Difference in Pod Filters

[T Evans]

Ok, I have decided to go with the triple filters but am thinking about getting the smaller ones that will fit under my Bear Claw. I have sense heard that there is a significant difference in HP between the small filters that will fit under the claw and the larger filters that wont fit under the claw.
The way I understand it is that the larger filters flow more air thus produce more HP? If this is the case, does anyone know how much difference there is or is it 5 hp or less. If you can see a gain of 10 hp difference by going with the larger filters, then a guy may have to look at going that route over the smaller ones.
When you load your different maps into your PCIII or your Tuneboy, does it ask which pod filters you are running, large or small?

Thanks guys

I've never heard of the smaller filters you wrote about. The standard K&Ns that folks use definitely fit, though tightly, under the bearclaw--at least on the R3T. I'm pretty sure they fit under the regular rocket's bearclaw too. No tune I've come across distinguishes between small and large filters.

K&N ru-2780's are the common K&N filter to use, they do fit under a claw if u dont want to modify. I have read here that they arnt big enough if u tune the buke over 165hp naturally aspirated. ( ie cams, pistons & stuff, not the turbo route) For standard trim & tuneboy, they are fine.
