DNA AIR BOX COVER STAGE2 question.

Hi
Now ive very recently purchased a K&N filter and was looking at the stage 2 cover.
Whilst i was fitting the filter my dad (not at all mechanically minded) approched to see what i was doing, i explained and i said that i was next going to buy the stage 2 cover, to which he replied "why dont you just cut it off".

so i got a stanley chopped it off (neatly) and slightly widened the opening (gigidey) and it now looks remarkably like the DNA one, i guess what im getting at is, whats the difference other than price and the wait to get one?

Cheers
Ben

ps. theres a noticable performance increase albeit very slight.

Not a lot. Although you'll have to buy a new snorkel if you ever wanted to return it to standard, which would cost you more than the DNA top in the first place!:002:

Thanks all i wanted to know, so i pretty much just got a stage 2 cover for free.
No brainer.
