Fit Pipercross instead - much more MAF friendly :afro:

Yeah pipercross as apparently the oil in the K&N and the like will clog your MAF and that'll be the end of your MAF.

On my list of things to replace at some point, how much are they? and best place to buy from? Any discounts available?

Sorry when I was saying how much were the BITS the reason i said bit was because I though I was replying to another thread, apologies mate, you must've been confused :grin:

(how much were the bits? WTF is he on about I only bought one P.Cross panel :grin: )
