On a budget?
A £139 air filter is waste of money IMO, ebay have been serving up cheap cone filters for years. I prefer original airbox with foam/ITG style panel filter.

Or do what others have done and take a cheap open cone, pipe it into the wing and get great results

As Sam has said above. Not heard anything positive about the Apollo kit tbh, so save your money.

Remve the Resonator box and affix the cone in the space left the higher the better IIRC, to stop water ingress.
