Just not running right

Hi guys I've got a bit of a situation, I recently put danmoto carbon exhausts on the bike and a sigma stage 1-3 carburettor kit on and now I have flat spot between 1-3½rpm. I know I need to uprate the air filter but has anyone got any recommendations that ain't going to cost the earth.
