   Is in the large plastic box to the right of the engine with pipes coming outta each end in theory, just undo the 6 (?) screws and take it out, may have to undo a few jubilee clips too

   Get a new one if you don't know how long it's been there, needs oiling if you keep the existing one i thinks

   I'd go for a K&N or Green panel filter - it'll fit in the standard airbox.

    I have one of those K&N panel filters for sale in a standard air box mate! Filter is as good as new. end sale plug lol
    
    tbh I can't imagine there would be a huge difference between them, but I'm not a fan of piper cross due to them being foam.
