Make sure the KN filter isn't oiled and it should be fine but many of the boys run the s2000 too. Personally I've just gone piperX in the airbox.

I've got the 008 and I can hear the DV dump yeah. But I also have a milltek catback so obviously that takes over!

I think the S2000 is a love or a hate thing, mine was stupidly loud and all the whooshing and DV noise was doing my head in so went back to the PiperX panel filter in the airbox and while it isn't as smooth the noise is considerably more tolerable lol

Its just an air filter no kit as such, any autocar parts store should have one, if u quote a 2002 honda s2000 that brings up the one and if u can get the branded one made by blueprint is meant to be slightly better quality than the cheaper versions, also need a reducer to fit this onto the maf :nerd:

Euro Car Parts or eBay are cheapest for S2000 filter

86 or 83mm to 70mm coupler is needed

I do like the S2000 filter and at roughly £12 cant grumble  :smiley:

Get a tape and measure it! Can be a couple of mill out as the jubilee clip would tighten it up?
