I know we chatted or whistled about this

My K&N flame arresters did take the whistle away 90 percent from the Iac..maybe redirect air flow as opposed to a mesh screen??

But it pushed on on the merc 496ho cover and I didn't want to trim it. So off they came.

No performance gain btw.
Wonder if they'll work on Volvo.. I slightly get it with the 282 but it is very sound deadened.

Depends on the engine cover and sealing like you said.
I was going to go with the K&N . I don't know if mercury puts the intake air sensor on the back of the spark arrestor. Volvo does so the K&N wouldn't work.
