I got that kit, but then i have the 3S-GE too as you know, so no real help there! biggrin.gif

It works really well, before i got it though, i just used some flexi piping from a hardware store attached to a regular funnel like you use to pour oil with, which went up through the bottom of the airbox. Worked just as well, but didnt sound as cool wink.gif



Did you have any problems with the map sensor? I heard the 3sge doesn't like running a pod filter?

I'm looking to change my set up but am thinking of just getting the K&N filter panel as the factory box isn't too bad a set up.


No problems at all, it runs perfectly.
It's just down to how you want it to sound, performance wise there's no difference between panel and cone - i've had both, but sound wise, the cone gives an awesome growl biggrin.gif



I don't suppose you know anywhere online that sells K&N's do you? I need a 33-2054 to fit my Beams air box but they cost a mint in NZ and with the exchange rate at the moment it will be cheaper for me to purchases offshore.

Hi all, I've just joined from New Zealand and own a '98 SSII with the Beams 3sge VVTi motor. Its been slightly lowered with 17 inch Volk wheels and a 2.5 inch exhaust.

Hi there, just joined from New Zealand and have a '98 SSII with the Beams VVTi engine. Just wondering if anyone can suggest the cheapest place to get a K&N panel air filter?
