Title: Air intake on E-bay with K&N
Post by: Leggy on July 29, 2005, 12:55
Hi Guys,

Anybody had any experiance or comments to make on this air intake available from a company in the US. It keeps popping up and seems quite cheap.  s:? :? s:?

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Looks reasonable to me, although I am guessing the pic isn't of the MR2 one as there seems too much piping. Providing is it with a genuine K&N filter then you can't really go wrong as the filter on it's own isn't much less than that price.

That's what I thought at first - but look at the MAF mounting, that looks like ours..

I think this is one of those kits that relocate the air filter to very low down in the engine bay, with a really long runner and that Samco bend..

If it is, then it's incredibly cheap for a lot of materials, although I'd be worried about sucking up water..

[edit] On looking at it again.. the MAF mount looks like ours, but the pipe bends in the wrong direction, unless the MAF is being remounted upside down.. Most odd..
