   Shortly ill be getting a raceland Induction but it comes with the red fliter. so i thought it generally easier if i buy a green filter for it now. Theres a guy on here selling one, but neither him nor i know if it will fit, can anyone help?Looks the same, but i dunno how much they vary. simple yes or no will do. thanks

   i dont think he knows it, but comparing this one and one in a raceland already they look different.
   With that said, can you recommend one from your site as an upgrade to the red cone filter that comes with the raceland im buying?

    Cheers mate. Very helpfull. I read something about fitting the scoop with some makeshift brackets, as if you fasten it to the front when it moves (engine) it stresses the scoop forcing it to snap.

    I wouldn't bother with the upgrade, won't make much if any difference.
    
    The red raceland filter has a nice sound also.
    
    Yes it will fit a mk2 VTR, think its mk1's that has the power steering thing in the way.

    I couldnt see why the res was a problem becuase on mine it seems so far away. Is it not a bit to close to the manifold heat shield tho? Sorry for so many questions just want to know what im doing on the day

    If you can find a pic of a mk1 the power steering thingy is right at the top where the scoop is
    
    on the mk2 its closer to the floor so doesn't effect it

    Same as me, I just ordered mine. I went for the uprated filter, as I counted 3quid in loose change on my desk, so thought I might as well for the hell of it.
