Default Hybrid Airbox/filter

Has anybody here seen or got or heard one of these that Dave.f has produced over on the 'mini torque' forum.............there seems to be good feedback and whilst he is out of stock presently he will make another batch if he gets more punters!!
They are about £129

So if any of you are interested get over there and put ya order in!!!

I have one of these! Found it made quite a difference especially to the whine of the supercharger!

Has been proven to be better than the JCW airbox too and is way less £££

Set has got one. The sound like they're worth a punt for the money.

the difference in performance is marginal... the difference in price is

as always we go back to bang for buck and the hybrid wins!!

wish it had come out earlier !!

I have one and am very pleased with it. Although mpg is down due to heavy foot causing wonderful whining!

I've got one and it makes a big difference... Sound is great and power delivery is smoother...
