keep your standard airbox and use a green cotton filter and run it dry! then make your airbox airtight and adapt your snorkel pm me and i will happily talk you through it Big grin hope this helps

I give a vote for the K&N 57i.....cheap, easy to install, 1 or so extra bhp/ft lbs torque, easy to clean and loads of induction roar.

Has some bad points though. Heat soak and as i found out to my peril....it sucks water in like a tramp on chips...gobble gobble=water in your engine !

By making the box air tight and adapting the snorkel you get a savage ram air effect. I can feel mine drawing air on idle. And because it sucks soooo much air it sounds like an induction kit when you twist the throttle.

Plus no heat soak. Lots of cold air Smile
