I've made my own system up like a lot of folk have done but I've used a 90º alloy tube rather than a rubber connection and an AEM filter I had in my garage from my Honda days gone by

K&N are excellent BUT they are also oiled filters... Not great when it comes to your MAF so I'd highly recommend using a non-oiled K&N filter (can be found easy enough) or something along the likes of the Pipercross or ITG filters (this is the same with panel filters also)

I'm not ***** re fuel economy as I do 2-3k miles a year and also have an E60 M5 that even over the warmer months, I'm lucky to get about 15MPG out of it when driving it 'as it should be driven'

Plus I love the sound the V6 makes when it's pushed; the AEM cone filter releases such a nice growl it really does turn heads...!

Can't wait to get a decent stainless system made too!
