Gunslinger Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 The housing was lengthened to better protect the filter and openings to increase airflow through the filter elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Silence the intake a little more.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Silence the intake a little more.? It perhaps did, although that rectangular opening was still 'pretty big and wide open'! I believe the second reason though, was to standardize the R2 air filter housings across the Hawk ,Lark, and Avanti lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
