   i wouldnt be that bothered about it tbh mate. Might make a wierd sound but wont be too bad. Some poeple dont even bother with filters! Think you have to buy the induction kit again though.

   see even if your cant find another filter. a universal one will do the same thing as it. The only difference in the k&n kit is the pipes and things that come with it. You can pick a cone filter up for pennys on fleabay.

   wrong: the K and N will give better filtration and allow more clean air through, the K and N is ALOT better other wise they wouldnt invest £££S in testing.

    for a mint k&n cone your looking at about £30-£40 id say. depends on the cone however shapes, sizes etc.
