^^^ I have 90's but these can sometimes be tight when fitting the filter if you still have the firewall

They just lose compression & need re-honing & new piston rings on a regular basis. :D

Really? Apart from the obvious, not running a filter can really damage the engine in other ways!

Nope, just Craig being pedantic! ;)

Only way engine can be damaged is by foreign objects falling down the trumpets... quite unlikely, but MORE likely if there is no filter

lol lol True.

Though I've seen evidence of how much wear can be encountered by running a K&N 57i compared to a paper filter, so no filter at all can only mean more bore/ring wear.

Open trumpets look great but lets be honest it aint worth the risk.
