Guys,
I installed the DNA filter and airbox cover, and I LOVE IT! While it won't make the Meteor 350 a superbike, it'll wake it up. The bike accelerates better; it has better throttle response; it pulls better in all gears; and, it makes a louder intake roar. With the stock filter and snorkel, my Meteor would barely pull in fifth, especially if I shifted at 40-45 mph. Now? It pulls better in fifth. I'm very happy with my DNA filter and airbox cover...
Now, if you install the filter and airbox cover, you need to let the bike idle for a minimum of 10-12 minutes until the bike can reach operating temperature. Why? Because the ECU has to learn the new configuration. The DNA filter and airbox cover will allow more air in to the engine, which will change the mixture, which will be seen at the O2 sensors. If it's cold out, let the bike idle for longer-again, so it reaches operating temperature. DO NOT BLIP OR TWIST THE THROTTLE AT ALL WHILE IDLING THE BIKE AFTER FILTER INSTALL! Once you're done, go for a short 2-3 mile ride, so as to verify that everything is still working all right; if all is well, then go for a longer ride and enjoy the bike!
