Railroader - The K&N from the 450 will not fit the 500
That sounds perfect. I got it all apart for the snorkel, its gonna be a tight fit for sure.Looks too quiet. It needs a pipe. "You callin' me Yella"
You can get flexible exhaust hose from a boat supplies store, to run the snorkle. It has a smooth bore and should be able to be placed directly against the motor w/o burning.
