Hi all,

I have been looking into air filters and started off with Mountune but there out of stock! But watching some videos it looks like the Mountune ones are KN air filters does anyone know if this is right? 

 

Also what do people think about the Mountune Air Intake kit? Worth the price?

Thanks

Aaron

    Mountune filters are made by K&N to same specs just with a removable end plate.
    All that really does is make the induction louder.
    I fitted a K&N filter in conjunction with an RS airbox lid (modified with an ST logo) and it sounds just fine like that.

    You only need the lid though.
    Still not cheap but looks way better.
