Lower her first, K&N is a cheap and easy mod that can follow anytime

Hi Stuart, welcome aboard.

How much is your K&N going to cost?

The reason i'm asking is that we have discounts from suppliers on this site when being a full member: K&N = £71.97 free p&p.

To become a full member just donate £5. Urgo, K&N for £76.97 + Full access to other members' sections. Up to you matey.

That would be the mongoose flexi on eBay I imagine, I'd get them separate and go for the milltek one, much better quality but abit more pricey.

I would say K&N first just to disagree with everyone else
You'll notice a big difference. Also lots of people say don't worry about the flexi just wait and get a manifold. I like to do one mod at a time as well so I can feel the difference each part has made

Just my opinion
Lowering and K&N feels great!

Might be a daft question but how do you get the air box off,
a thought you just forced it off the three mounting points, mine seems to be welded on lol.

little bit awkward try one point at a time. also try pushing from underneath to force it out. The rear one is the most annoying!!

It just needs a little bit of lube and some gentle persuasion
