lose weight.....lots of it! Chuck out anything you don't need! :laugh:

Maybe you could put on a K&N Bolt on filter? It would look nicer and sound better or you could just leave the old Airbox on there but change the original filter for a K&N one or something like your idea

Loads of info on this in the K10 sections, have a peruse (Y)

so the bolt on looks better and sounds better but i would have thought giving my air box a pipe direct out of the frunt grill will give it beter performance as it is getting a direct flow of air insted of jsut being at the back of the engin bay??

Even better, buy the bolt on...then put a pipe from the grill, then turn the fuel mixture up slightly

I really cant remember now...something like 50mm or around that
That bolt on one is perfect for the job

But i did have a replacement filter K&N that you stick in the standard airbox...still get the roar but same power

On my RS2000 MK6 i have a panel filter and drilled the airbox, sounds good and gives the same performance as a £100 induction kit, which is next to nothing with out doing other little mods.

so i would drill the airbox and replace the filter
