 Anyone near the IA/IL quad cities area with installed KewlMetal Performance Air Kit?
Hello Everyone,
I am a newbie here and in the spyder world. I have owned my Spyder not even two months when I noticed oil in the airbox. I found this site, which was a amazingly helpful, and after viewing a few threads decided I would install and inline fuel filter, in the crankcase vent hose, with foam replacing the filter to stop the oil from entering the airbox. It is working but I am considering it possibly a temporary fix. I am interested in KewlMetal's Can-Am Spyder RS, Performance Air Filter Kit. Before I pull the trigger though I have a couple concerns. I am concerned about added heat, from the engine, on plastic that was once blocked by the airbox and MOST OF ALL I am concerned about the added noise. I have heard a few complaints on here about it. Keep in mind I just turned 30. I am not concerned about me so much , instead my wife-to-be. I would really like to find someone near the QC that has this installed on their's so I could possibly meet them somewhere to hear it.
Thanks everyone and keep riding!

It's definitely loud. You won't hear your exhaust over the noise coming through the intake.
I haven't heard anyone complain about heat issues.
Mr. Orange has one in the area...

Well, I am not a huge BBQ person but I enjoy it from time to time. There is a little place just south of me in Galesburg that supposedly has great BBQ. It is called the B-Q Rib Shack. I have attached a link with its address and a few reviews.

If you are interested, maybe we could get together on a time to meet there and I could treat you to lunch for driving all that way. Let me know. I would love to hear the Spyder!

And ... a ton of gadgets and mods to boot. 
Agree, he's a great guy, incredibly knowledgeable and very willing to help others.
Hope he remembers his phone in case you need to call him.

Their hours of operation are Tue-Thur 5pm til 9pm, Fri-Sun 4pm til 9:30pm. I will try calling them today to see if the hours I found are accurate but noon might be a bust.
