Also, under the P plate and high powered vehicles law, will a good air filter be considdered an engine mod?

no it won't, it's perfectly legal to change your panel filter, don't be a douche and get an exposed pod filter tho coz the cops will cane u :(

i wouldnt bother with K&N filters the standard filters breath just as good, but id get a lukey filter they seem 2 breath better again and r washable so u dont need 2 buy crappy oil that will go into ur TB n dirty it up. and 4 $50-$60 u get better bang 4 ur buck.

I've had one for a couple of months and all i noticed with it was a better throttle response because i paired it with an OTR CAI. Beauty of them is that you can clean and reuse. It will pay for itself over time.

i wouldnt bother with a k&n..i had brought one for my old VR, and it had a CAI, very minimal gains if any.. and a few mechanics have told me that they are rubbish and the standard paper ones are fine...but ive also heard that LUKEY ones are pretty dam good

yeh go the lukey hi flow filter, i tried both the k&n and the lukey in the same car and imo the lukey was heaps better plus its a dry filter so you dont get all the oily gunk thru the intake, its also re-usable, and it costs about $30 cheaper than the k&n.

bursons sells them and if they dont have one in your local store then the next one should.
