I just got my 03 Raptor. The dealer put a GYT-R Carbon Fiber pipe on it. Otherwise it is stock. What should I do first to wake it up? I would like to do something to the airbox and filter. I would also like to rejet it. Any suggestions?

Get the pro flow of K&N fliter kit, plus outerwear to cover the fliter. You are going to need to rejet the carb since you got the pipe and if you get the proflow kit.

Wheel spacers!!
I got some High lifters for around $70 for the 1 1/2".
They made a big diffrence in the dunes!!

Here's some pics

After wheel spacers

They wern't quite a bolt on I had to grind notches to clear the **** on the hub, but it was no big deal.

No one else thinks K&N is a bunch of overpriced hype? If you got a pipe you need to rejet anywho. There is tons of info on raptor mods and the results in the forums, just run a search.

I think K&Ns are worth the dough... I second the Pro-Flow kit...

I bought the whole GYT-R skid package and am very satisfied with it... a steering damper will also help loads...

I think K&N are good filters. Certainly better than the stocker. I also prefer the K&N for ease of cleaning etc. Foam filters are messy. JM personal opinion.

Its the price that kills me, I know good and darn well that cloth didnt cost that much. All you would really have to do to increase flow is get a bigger filter with way more surface area.

I agree with that. Everything recreation is over priced. In this case your paying for the technology. Its a good design, designed to flow more air and filter just as good as foam. But even still, it's over priced.
