have just taken my k+n induction kit off and re-fitted the original airbox

complete with standard ( a bit mucky ) air filter and if anything it

went as good if not better with the standard airbox on so i'm gonna

get a k+n element for it, does anyone no who sells them the cheapest ?


cheers

K&N cone filters are worse than the stock item.

A replacement freeflow element is the way to go.

standard exhaust and airbox rule IMO, but free flow exhaust is nice for revvy top end power.
