hii everyone
,
my names Louiie
I'm 17 and on my Red P's
and I'm from Sydney.
picking up my 1st FTO on Monday
because i had to wait a few days for it to be complied,
as I'm the first Australian owner xD
ever since i test drove it I've been in love.
i love the great handling and the roar of the Mivec
its a Silver 2000 model GPX with 70,000km on the Clock.
Anyway I'm looking forward to The cruises and getting to know everyone!

awk, because i saw them at repco, super cheap and robbos.
and i know K&N are a decent brand, it should improve sound
and maybe performance but dont know by how much.
they were going for around $99

That is correct and as much as what you just wrote in your post is as much as what i know about them myself lol
What i really want to know is are they worth the $99 and worth the Buy ?

A K&N will last you a life time if treated correctly - ie cleaned every 5000kms with a K&N oil kit. Worth every penny.

haha im asking myself the same question.
also thinking of going for that group buy of that filter
with the heat sheild and everything, but then again its also three times the price of the K&N Pod filter lol
and the filter from the group buy adds something like 5kw.
and then theres the catback that i want to get lol
new rims, + a million other mods lol
cars=money
