Default Cheaper Pro-Flow Adaptor Option?

I have a 01 Warrior with A HMF pipe (and jet). I am running the stock airbox with an oem replacement UNI Filter (fits over the stock air filter "cage"). My question is this.. where can I get a cheap "pro-flow" style adaptor for cheap?

Since I already have the UNI filter, all I need is the adaptor (most places sell the filter and adaptor together as a kit). The cheapest I've seen it go for just the metal adaptor is around $60. Anywhere I can buy the "pro flow" style adaptor for a reasonable price? I think it's silly to pay that much for a small machined piece of metal that connects the airbox to the filter. Any suggestions or alternatives?

Thanks in advance.....

Doubt it...Unless you can find someone who can machine it custom for you.

The UNI filter you have probably wont work with the Pro-Flow adaptor anyway, you'll likely still need to buy the whole kit and caboodle. At least I know that's the case for other yamahas.

Considering material cost, machine time, o-ring, miscellaneous hardware, and a reasonable profit, $60 is not a bad price. You will pay many times that price to have someone do you a custom.

Well, now that it's brought to my attention that my filter won't work, it looks like buying that kit (from nossmachine) would be my best bet.

$70 seems like a goo price for the filter and adaptor. I see they also have the kit with the K & N filter for $15 more.

Now, are these "pro-flows" mainly intended to make a better connection to the airbox for the purpose of protection (prevention of debris), ir does it actually give you some performance gains as well?

Thanks for the help ya'll, looks like the nossmachine kit is my best bet.
