flyn are a reseller they don't make anything ;) (off ebay right )...

with airfilters you pay for what you get... cheap can actually be worse than an oem paper filter

is yours a GR or MIVEC???

the stock paper element actually provides better filtration than K and N filters. So taking that into consideration not many aftermarket filters so as a good job as the stocky filter element.

so why spend money on a new intake and filter from uas? if it doesnt protect you engine as much?
