I got mine from Ripco back in October last year. Cost around $96 IIRC, only took them two days to order in.
Can't see why they wouldn't be able to do the same now.

KJ.

i got mine from Outlaw speed shop in SA. $115 . That combined with the galant intake snorkel and BS0655 rear muffler made all the difference.Beware you fuel consuption will go up to start will (first 2 tanks) Mine went from 13 to 14.5 l/100k. Now im on my fourth tank and getting 12.5 l/100kms.
Overall again probably around 0.5 to 1 l/100 kays saving in fuel economy. Depends how you drive tho i guess

Just picked up a 2007 Series 3 VRX. Love it! If I bought a K&N filter would I really notice much difference? More power???

Welcome russb, nice looking car you have there!!!

The K & N on its own isnt going to give you much more power, may just make it a little more responsive. If you want your car to go faster, replace your rear muffler with a straight thru & get a 90mm air intake. Those combined with a K & N will definetely give you a power gain you will notice.

Yeah, when you have time read through these threads. Those are the basic mods that most of us here have done already.

+1

Get the 90mm first, rear muffler second, consider the resonator mod, Then the K&N:hmm:

like ive said before do the intake, k&n and rear BS0655 berklee muffler and its more than enough for most people. Dont be worried when you car uses more fuel for first two tanks as its just getting used to increased air flow. After my 4 th tank i got around .8 l/100kms better fuel economy

I have the exact mods described by Terry plus the lower resonator mod for a grand total of $261....pretty good value for the power gain.
