    what would you suggest?

      AFE /\ Changing out the airbox is only for auditory stimulation.


      BUT, K&N adds 25HP if you install the sticker.

          I havent researched for a while but Afe have several filtration levels to choose from so they atleast appear to care about filtration which is the first job

              i'm gonna have a look at that. i don't mind the k&n but i agree with you on the amount of particulate it lets through.

                  I'm interested too - the K&N and other oiled type ones tend to not appeal to me because of how much more particulate they let through than normal paper filters in ProjectFarm tests (albeit that's not M20s, but still) - but I was wondering if stuff like the Magnumflow Dry S from AFE that go in the stock airbox was a good compromise between additional flow without too much extra particulate, but I haven't found any good comparisons for them online yet.
