does anybody know whitch k&n individual air filters fit the 97 katana 600

Any website that sells them should be able to tell you which ones fit. That being said, k&n pods generally aren't the best idea unless you are experienced with tuning and jetting cv carbs. Do a search on here and you'll find out more about them and how much most of us hate them.

Welcome to KR... Save yourself a massive headache, don't run pod filters

[atremblay]

It seems to be the consensus around here to just stick with the stock filter...

[Scalelover]

I've seen a slip in k&n filter and the externals that replace the air box. Is the replacement ok as far as a filter goes and not the pods?? or are both requiring tuning afterwards?? I actually started a thread on this to make it easier to follow and so others will see it too.

Both are crap
Stick with oem filter. Any hi-flow filter screws with the back pressure the carbs need to work correctly.

yeah im goin to stick with the oem style air filter, with the stock box. i forgot with the individual air filters each carb would be tuned diffrent. not really worth all that trouble. thanks guys for looking out for my own good...

does anybody know what some kat riders are useing for the sidewinder pipe. seen a few 92s and a 96 with a sidewinder pipe put on. i just figured they were useing one from a 750 or doin custom. i got vance and hines supper sport exhaust. that things sings like crazzy.
