Should I be concerned?

I know merc is diff. So I'm not 100 percent sure on yours. I would have to search some.

I can't find anything out there where the merc looks like our Volvo.

Roger that.

I don’t think there is a noticeable difference using the K & N on the Merc Mag HO vs stock flame arrester.

I just like the way it looks.

With that being said, I don’t want to perform a reflash on the ECU.

Yes no worries buddy!
Merc only ,as the Volvo 8.1 is offset slightly and has the sensor.
I would have put them on the 282 They are pretty!

Thanks again Matt. K & N installed!

Tucked under the cover like a sheep in wolf’s clothing.

Our 425 HP Merc is now probably pushing closer to 7-800 HP with this simple air filter mod.....maybe 1,000 hp on a crisp cold day with a low density altitude.

Very cool. Did yours ever have the whistle? Or did you look to see if you had a iac muffler in place?
It does look fast under there.

Thx brutha bbp.
Never noticed the whistle.
I just want to break 100mph and this simple upgrade should net me an extra 30-40 mph on the lake...and then I’ll be whistling Dixie....unless my Captain’s Call drowns it out.

Looking sweet buddy!

Doing the formula of ¥~496@101.1 ë , shows you should be prop shopping, and have an estimated fuel mileage of ( 3.6 Bay / 2.2 River).

Thx again for the sale.
