Hey buds. Looking to save a little money on upgrades for my 2002 MCS.
I'm no cheapskate, but $329 for a K&N filter? That's a robbery. The filter is literally no more than a couple feet of piping and a K&N filter slapped on the end. I am questioning how difficult it would be to simply manufacture my own filter just like this.
I have access to an industrial pipe bender, as well as tons of different clamps and different types and diameters of tube/pipe. Does anybody feel this would be a venture worth my time? Or should I go and sacrifice 300 smackers just to see a marginal performance increase?
FYI, I already do have a Mini Madness air filter installed, but I would like something even less restrictive. Any help or other ideas here (perhaps even better air filters) would be much appreciated.
