Default air filter/induction kit

Folks, just bought a gorgeous S2 ERST, it currently has the standard air box on, just wondering what the best induction kit on the market for the S2 was, any help appreciated

std modified airbox with pipercross/K&N panel filter, or similar IMO

cut the front off the box lid where the circular hole is, enlargening it basically.

You think that is best thing to do mate aye?

Easy enough to do? (not the most mechanically minded )

Welcome to the site and S2 ownership

As above stick with the original airbox and mod it, its tried and tested as the most effective.

s1_rs_turbo, basically just unclip the airbox lid off, 4 clips, you'll see them easy, get a hacksaw or simmilar and just cut round the edge of the end of the box with the circular hole, like so:
(can just about see what i done with mine (bottom right))
