I FEEL you need the clutch kit to take advantage of what thefilter kit is doing.

The filter kit shoudn't cost $550 cdn. Call Freddie at ECP.
I didnt think so. Also, is there a difference between Freddies and the K&N set up?

Keep an eye on the classified section i saw a filter kit go for $150 US just the other day. I got mine for $100 and a clutch kit for $150. Black 1000 is right the two go together without it would be like a turbo with a 1lb boost

you can play with the stock clutching, springs, rollers, and maybe a helix. a whole cluch kit for big $$$ is not necessary.
I was checking Royal website, filters $100, pre-filters $30, carb springs $50, jets $16. Couldnt find the crank case vent filter but say $50, plugs $45.
The parts are less than half what they are charging. What am I missing?

there are lots going for sale, just wait and help out a tyer when they have one for sale. easy to install and peaple will help you out.i bought 2 of them off here last year. as for clutching, i am still not convinced it is a big deal, mine went better with the filters, i had added the spedshop clutching and not sure if it was much of a gain.but thats just me

With both in my 03 i can honestly say i noticed a big difference other than the initial take off my 03 with the finger track can hang with a stock APEX just fine. Running the lakes in Manitoba last year i actually passed MrSled at 120+ When we pulled over first thing he said was he wanted the clutch kit back lol.

First I had just the clutch kit form the Speedshop ( now extinct ) but what a difference. Then I got the filter kit and updated the clutch to match and awsome. I am a firm believer in that all snowmobiles come with ho hum clutching that work good for the masses but you need a good kit to make it just right for you.
Again as with most of my posts just my $0.01

You can get the crankcase filter in the ricer section at canadian tire for about $15. It is the same thing as a valve cover breather for a car.
Great info.
