I'm trying to install a k&n air filter on my 05 r6 but the dang thing doesn't seem to fit. The instructions say to cut the filter along the dotted line but I'm a bit hesitant to start cutting.

Am i supposed to cut off the entire two top parts "along the dotted lines"?

I'm going to feel really stupid once someone tells me haha

This is what it looks like

Yeah, the KN filters never had a great fit with our models...i cant remember if that was fixed for the 3rd gen but you're not crazy

just cut it to fit and you'll be fine

This is what made me go with a BMC when i originally did mine

It's a bit hard to fit in the groove. Before you screw the top down it won't even look like it fits, but the rubber will compress a good bit
