    green filters, allow more air though, and have a bigger gauze ... BUT its better suited to cars that are only having low milage and short bursts, such as Climbs and short races.

    for day to day, you need something thats going to filter more, but still less restrictive that Stock...go for K&N

    Best bet is to whip out the one you have and double check. Only a 10min job

    the 2 lambda will be for the models which have the two lambda sensors so for your model there will be one in downpipe and one further down basically one before the cat and one after all for better emissions for your car so all your looking for are two sort of plugs which are screwed into your exhaust

    KamRacing i was planning on ordering from your site anyway... its the same with the ones on your site...seems to be 2 different k and n models for a 2001 VTR:

    http://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufactu...mbda-1492.html

    http://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufactu...6-8v-1940.html

    my airbox looks square and the (E-33-2227) model looks to be the one that would fit. Il get my pal to open it up a look at my standard one 1st. I will hopefully be making a few purchases from Kam Racing but 1st i want to get this panel filter sorted .... lol.......thanks for everyones help
