I put one of these on my truck to keep the filter away from the t/b linkage but you don't have to have it.

here's mine on the tt with an outerwears cover installed. note the linkage is close to the filter, but not hitting.

no, the shredstack is not needed, but nice. it makes for more clearance for the throttle/brake linkages. but the pics above show the hpi air filter installed w/o the shredstack that angles the filter upward.


just the first 2 pieces you need. 1) the cage assy and 2) the 2 part foam filters that go over the cage assy. you'll also need good dirt bike foam air filter oil.

Get quantity of 2 of item one and quantity of 3 of item 2 on Ron E links that will get you enough for both your cars and a extra filter element to have preoiled up and ready.


The shredstack is nice on baja but not necesary on th e Rampage.

I use the standard linkage hookup. I had to trim a little off the edge from the plastic HPI filter top.


The linkage has clearance now and it's using the stock angles. I use the stock servo horn that came


with my Rampage. The mod does not affect filter performance whatsoever.


Check the pic, truck is dirty but you can still see...
