I'm using a pair of aftermarket WEIAND filters. I describe them below in a post titled something like "Starved for Air?". I realized that they may not allow enough, or as much air as the correct thicker filters. Thought this might affect mileage.
I had tried to find one of the B20B plastic air filter housings as a way around the outrageous cost of replacing the stock air filters, but to no avail. I know a fellow up in Conn. who swaps out his thick pancakes for the B20B type box seasonally. The B20B rectangular filter is more reasonably priced.
The advantage to the WEIAND setup is that they use foam filters which are washable and replaceable.
Have to pull my gauge/speedo cluster and remove the oil that spiraled up from the OD via cable before I can monitor mileage accurately.
