I'm finally getting around to doing some mods on the Predator, so my header is at Jet-Hot right now getting the sterling coating, and I have an HMF on the way......question is, those of you who have had your exhaust apart, have you re-used the copper compression washers in the head, and the metallic gasket/sleeve between the header and factory muffler, or did you order new ones? Also, any suggestions on a good "bang for the buck" intake mod? FWIW, I've been considering the Hardrock set up. Thanks in advance.

 

I think the best bang for the buck is the K&N clamp on fliter. Then take the airbox and turn it into a little storage box/ice chest or just remove it completely[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I like either the clamp on or naturally like my modded airbox setup check out the pictures but disregard the dirt it is not that dirty anymore.

 

as far as the crush rings go,,,,,,I would defenitely replace those.

They are not meant to be re-used.

 

the exhaust gasket can be reused if you can get it out in one peice.. its a pain in the *** tho.
and i also suggest the k&n clamp on.. it gets that airbox out of the way.
