Breather filter

[Swallow]

When i fit my K&N induction kit, is it essential to fit a breather filter aswell?

What is the small round hole for on the bottom of the K&N?

Does the induction kit sound just as loud as when running no airfilter at all?

There should be a pipe that comes with the K&N that connects from the breather in the top of the rocker cover and connects to that hole in the bottom of the K&N so you don't need the breather. its not quite as throaty but still pretty good compared to with out the filter at all just looses the slight gurgle when reving

as above.

you'll only need a breather filter if you relocate the air filter. ie out of range of the rubber tube.

its not mega nessary to have a breather filter anyway.
