Cheaper Carb Alternatives for K&N Filters


Recommended Posts

Hi

I'm removing the standard airbox and really like the K&N filters but my budget is about half on what the K&Ns costs, ie £100 each.  These seem to be the K&Ns most fit over the pond on the carb cars, but wondered if anyone saw some nice cheaper ones?

These are a bit cheaper.

I just removed similar from my GT6 as they don't allow for the fitment of stub stacks.

Hi Washi

They wrote and said I would need to do some drilling, so if you got from same place, then your advice is what they are using!  I have access to some okay machinery so am happy to drill new holes.  This saves me 130 euros over K&N

I’ve sent them back and then they shipped the correct ones. Got them from Bastuck
