When I learned of the R2C filter, I was interested. I was still waiting for my sxs to be delivered, so I held off. Good thing:
Filter Problems
Not working point, I dodged that bullet. To my knowledge R2C has still not stepped up to pay for the damage their defective filter looks to have caused. Thanks but no thanks. I would not do business with that company until everyone here, who got their motor trashed, is compensated in full.
I'll keep the stock filter . . . I added a K&N pre-filter which should extend the life of the stock filter even more. (Shown before oil applied.)
