haha i have a cone and i have no problems and this is 4 months later

 

hmmmm...ok...i'll have to give it a try one of these days, was it a noticable difference?

 

yes sir, immediate throttle response difference, and a lil peppier

 

I keep my screen in just in case the cone filter has problems. I had one instance where it wasn't tight and slipped down a bit allowing anything less than a 1/4" to go in. There were also tons of small gravel rocks about 1/32" to 1/16" in size in the air box. If some of that would have gone past a non existant screen I would probably be getting a new engine.
