Very tight fit of O.S. round filter?
Hello,
I am using O.S. round filters in my GT car, with an Xceed INS box. The air filter is very tight on my carb, and I already tore one on the side (where the foam connects to the rubber) trying to fit it. Is there an offroad adapter which would fit the on-road air filter at the other side, sort of like what the IGT8 Red has, to make it easier to remove and re-install? I'd compensate for the lost tight fit on the carb with a ziptie anyway, as I always do. The ones I have don't fit as they're the same size as the air filter

Soak the rubber part of the filter in hot water for a while before trying to install. Put some silicone grease on the outside of the carb hole to facilitate removal later....
