My idea was to drop the paper filter, or K&N altogether, and just run with the carbon filter. I have seen threads that people cut out the carbon filter and run just the paper filter, or K&N setup. My thought is why go through all of the effort, when you can just pop out the regular filter, and run the carbon one.

cannot do that. Does not make sense. Here is why. You only want to use the carbon filter. Well, as you know, it gets very dirty under the bonnet. How you ganna replace the carbon filter when it has accumulated tons of debris on the surface? Have you ever opened the airbox filter and looked at a filter that has been in there for 1 year, there are all sort of debris (dead insect parts-wings, legs, head, eyeballs
, fine sand, dust).
