GP - I bought the simota filter for my CAI from Autobarn and it was ~$55 for the crappy coloured one. About $10 more for a CF or chrome one.

I bought the yellow one and painted it. :mrgreen:

Damn I paid $90 for mine delivered from Mania :| Wish you had come in sooner Boags.
And it's Purple :roll:
It didn't come with any info on the filter, Do you know if they're re-useable,
wet or dry type?

mmm reading this, i had another idea

my intention was to have a hole in a firewall, leading to a custom made airbox with a decent sized airfilter sitting inside, and a vent ontop feeding from the bonnet, seems possible in my head but would they conflict?
