   anybody got 1??
   
   i've got 1 and have found it seems to be the most awkward thing in the world to fit
   
   there is some kind of plastic reducer that sits on the top end of filter then goes into the induction hose, but it keeps coming out after the car receives a thrashing??
   
   anybody got any ideas, or pics on how these are best fitted?
   
   thanks

   Take the old OE airbox off - all of it including the big black hose that wraps around the back of the air intake. the two filters - one replaces the bog black hose. the other on the hose off of the rocker cover.... the rest is simple bolt thr filter in place put the air hooses on... job done!

   Tis a bit of a bitch to fit, but just persevere.
   Try different mounting points aswell to stop it from coming off.

    so you get 2 filters?? the little dinky red thing that sits on the crank case pipe and the big black thing that replaces original airbox?
    
    Which filter replaces big black hose??? i thought you would have kept that to attach inlet manifold to the BMC filter?

    If im right in thinking it wont make a noise as its a enclosed filter.

    the breather cone with the larger end replaces the breather hose the smaller one on the crank case... you should have a bmc enclosed filter with 2 ducting hoses... 2 small breather cones... and the bits to attach them with all in the box.......

    mines is quite loud when u floor it. i only got the standard exhaust on at the mo. ive got a rattle comin from sumwhere on it think it might be the front pipe against the radiator. Need to investigate.
    
    Do u feel a difference with it fitted mate?

    i feel a slight difference, nothing major though, but its better than having standard filter
    
    Also, know any good ideas on where to fit the air feed pipe?

    i put mines down to a hole at the right hand side of the radiator.
    
    
    you can see it divin away down to the bottom, i find it works there.
