I bought a universal air filter with a couple of silicone pipes and made my own for about £35. What a noise. No increase in performance of course but the engine sounds a LOT more like the thing..

Had a MaxPower Cone on the ZS180 but after a week decided to take it off.
Felt like the noise I gained was the power leaking out.

Better throttle response with original housing and K&N..........

Less restrictive, better throttle response whilst still maintaining a balanced intake track.

These cone filters are all noise and no action. The more noise, more fuel.

MGR got it right in the design of the 190 airbox, why not fit the best reusable filter on the market.

They claim extra power, improved MPG which is perhaps pie in the sky, but a company that has been manufacturing for donkeys yesrs, there may be a bit of truth.
