Hi all , whilst I would ideally like to go the whole hog on mods ,the pocket wont permit it right now , what with the having refinanced the mortgage to fund the ex's new home, interest rates on the rise etc. So I thought I would fit an after market air filter , after reading up on it here at xr6 turbo.com.au I decided on a Hi flow BMC panel filter. After loosing a bit of bark off the knuckles trying to grt the clips back on (seal is tight as now. yes yes the airbox) I went for a spin....... Seems to have more power particularly down low , revs out more freely and the exhaust note seems a bit deeper particularly when up it. So for $ 160 seems like a pretty reasonable addition for not much cost. BTW , the standard filter was disgusting after only 10 000 ks , so keep an eye on em.
