Had some spare time tonight, just for info, the pipe where it fits to the airbox is 30mm so I need to find a breather filter or reducer to suit.

Hopefully my 18mm one will go inside the pipe, it will block it a bit but im not overly arsed about the SAI.

How are you planning on clamping it or does it not need a clamp  :undecided:

Nope your ok, the blanking plate is needed if removing the SAI system but I am leaving mine in.

Rip the bit that clips into the airbox off, and wack a jubilee clip around it, thats the theory anyway, if not put a load of electrical tape around the breather and wedge it in  :grin:

Sounds like a plan, did even wonder if it needed anything fitted at all but I guess it is better to fit a filter.
