Does anyone have or know the k&n official code?
I think I can get a good hook up on the price!
Thanks

K&N model # RU-3130, tapered cone filter. Cost in Vancouver is $35 CDN, or about 16.5 GBP.

I recently contacted K&N, inquiring about a JCW filter replacement. They do not make nor do they plan to make such a filter. The RU-3130 is a general purpose high flow filter which can be adapted to the JCW airbox.

Just got a reply from Mini madness about the fitment of their filter element, sounds like a good job.

"Thanks for the inquiry. The filter attaches with a band clamp and is very secure. This is a direct fit replacement, no permanent mods at all.

Thanks

It is a bargain compared to the price of the JCW paper filter - and it can be cleaned and reused.

Surely it is worthwhile spending a few extra bucks over the K&N filter to have a direct replacement that requires no mods to the airbox.

You have to take the Madness claim that the "JCW replacement paper filter costs $170 to replace" with a grain of salt, as an OEM replacement filter can be purchased for $90.

There is also the $80 ITG reusable 3-stage foam filter.

I think the Madness filter is the best choice but is still overpriced.

mattyc · Sep 24th, 2006, 08:04 PM

yeah so do i! Has anyone bought one of them? If so, can you see a product code on it?
It looks like a K&N filter so there must be one on there somewhere!!!

The filter is made by S&B

PmP · Sep 24th, 2006, 09:12 PM

$99 dollars is like £55 or there abouts, how cheap do you want it???

MINIAC · Sep 24th, 2006, 09:50 PM

It's $19 more than the ITG filter and that will get you a cleaning kit

T-bone S · Sep 24th, 2006, 09:51 PM

From minimadness.com, cant we order online from UK?

$19 is like less than £10 quid here, thats like less than two hours work if you only earn the minimum wage in the UK.

we could try organising a group buy if theres enough interest from us UK guys??? Though I'd like mine sooner rather than later.

T-bone S · Sep 24th, 2006, 11:08 PM

Same here

Some of us are on fixed incomes

BTW ... the GTT filter is $103 here in the US. That's about £54 ... £15 cheaper than GTT's price

Any group buy would have to set up with a MINI2 sponsor.
