Still at large even if he or she is nabbed, someone else will pick up the can

Had one of these (Green cotton) for a year and a bit now - pulled it out to clean it with a vaccum, unlike the K&N/Simota panels you don't need to oil them



I have a spare complete VR6/GTI airbox - so I'll try some mods with it...cheeseholes and or a direct cold feed from lower down in the bumper



Fitted some FK intake panels (alot of aftermarket parts just never fit right first time, so a nip and tuck and it will sit sweet) - so I'll see what happens with some tubing from this direct to the airbox - on the drivers side, and the TB's coming off too for a long overdue dremel and clean...

Looking good Damian! Was the green cotton filter very dirty after a year's worth of running? I remember cleaning out my K&N after half a year and I had to wash it over twice to get rid of all the dirt that got filtered out.

Yeah, It was a tad filthy! Being white cotton you can see the grime... I have a really good Miele 1500w vaccum with a fine brush attachment that gets right into the slots, so It was looking new again after that.

You can wash them as you would a K&N if you want to.
In one of the pics, the edge looks a bit distorted, it is but seals well and is really tight in there! overall a quality product tho
They make a crankcase/oil breather too, So I will get that down the track...
