Halfords do their own Ripspeed version but it will do the trick . Just make sure the neck of it will fit on the pipe work

I've got the toe-end of a sock cable-tied around mine at the minute, before I get a filter on there!

I think Piper X sell the breathers in Halfords too but can't remember if they were oil breathers only.

Whereabouts do you put this filter? I'm gonna be replacing my airbox for a cone filter in the near future, and would like to get an idea before i fit it. A pic would be good

I Should be doin this all 2morro m8, so will try and gets some pics as im doin it, the new filter go's onto the pipe that conected to the big air box. It might have to be a sock as mentioned above tho till i can get one, but ill see what i can get 2morro lol

If your struggling to get one go to a motorbike shop and see what they have, there a bit like a minimoto filter.

Its the only pipe that goes to the airbox apart from the MAF sensor......if you looked you'd see it straight away.

Ah ok. I did say i hadn't had a proper look though

 

[gezmeister]

Also, does this throw up a code/engine management light?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

No not with a filter on the end.

I got a breather filter which came with my bmc induction kit, looks like a mini cone filter. problem fitting it though as everytime I did the jubilee up it folded the plastic pipe up and squeezed the filter end out of the pipe, any ideas how to sort it out? Tried cable tie-ing it to but did the same thing

hiya all

Got mine on today, sounds sweet, ill put some pics up over weekend as gonna do the mod that Jon has done with the bush into the top of the filter, i am still not convinced on holding the sai filter inplace, there must be quite a few peeps on here with cone filters with ideas, or maby alot of them have just removed the sai system??,

Just for the recorded i didnt get the same filter as every 1 here seems to be getting i got one with a 90mm i/d, 140mm top 100mm bottom with 203 lenght and its spot on about 1cm gap if that, to side of car with oem mount perfect for the bushing mod, i had to get a 70 to 90mm silicon converter as i have a facelift cupra but over all very happy, as didnt want a small compact filter and the only way to get this is to get a bigger inlet diamater, as i said will get some pics up weekend so you can see what i looks like.
