if you want power gain, an airfilter will not supply any. some people have seen power from them.... bt most people get nothing.

 

and i think most people will say K&N panel filter.

So would i be right in saying that a panel filter involves me keeping the original filter box in place ?(

yup its a dirct replacement for the ford filter. box stays.

 

you can also drill holes in the front of the air box, you will get more noise aswell this way/

Nice idea, i think i'll go with that. Panel filters are cheaper too, winner :thumb:

If you fancy swapping your air box for a 6 month old piper X pm me buddy. :thumb:

are you putting a standard air filter back on, or panel filter?

Standard box with panel filter but ive broken my old air box so need a new one.
how much are you thinking of for my airbox in exchange for your PX?
I have a K and N and have had no problems with it. Gave it a clean using the kit a month ago and now its looking as good as new.
