Even though your getting a standard shaped K&N filter element on the mini spares stage one, would replacing that and the housing with a K&N Cone filter make a difference Positively or Negatively performance wise, as ill be soon clearing and sexing up my engine bay and would prefer this option

On the subject of the Drilling holes would it not be much simpler to remove the big chunky overflow valve type thing that sits next to the rocker cover and this achieving the same outcome?

Best one is one that comes free with the engine you buy for £200

you mean one that sucks up a massive bolt cus we were too stupid not to put them that close to the air intake and almost shreds the engine

Yeah - our knowledge wasn't that good back then haha - thank god it was a large enough bolt to get wedged on the butterfly We have made some stupid ass mistakes haha (somewhat dreading what we could get wrong with the Redtop...)

Back on topic - the maniflow exhaust is pretty good

All that is needed to maximise the performance is to remove the hot-air 'snorkle', and drill a half-dozen three-quarter-inch diameter holes around the front underside of the casing. Ensuring these holes are OUTSIDE the cleaner element of course! The bonus of retaining the standard casing is the civilized noise level it provides in comparison to the cone/pancake type K&N…

It may look prettier - but that cone/pancake makes a mighty row. It's OK at idle, and tolerable when cruising at low speed, but any load or high- speed motoring creates an ear-bleeding din. Not only that, sorting the fuelling can be very arduous, AND recent testing has proven that this et-up actually LOOSES power over the aforementioned by around 5%! Now that's definitely not good.

Did a little research and answered my own question
ill be getting them holes drilled and filter element replaced then
