Hello All - This is my first post to the DML, although I've owned my "D" for over 13 years (VIN 2248). In response to this thread ... there is a K&N airfilter element that works just fine in the stock airbox. The panel filter element is a little short, but can be snugged up with a length on vacuum hose used as a spacer. I've had this in my car for almost a year. K&N filters have virtually no restriction, and are very effective at cleaning the incoming air. The throttle response improvement is noticeable. The part number is NM33-2002. Just a thought for those that want to do things right ... --- In dmcnews@xxxx, jtrealty@xxxx wrote: > Actually I don't think the pantyhose will cause any harm as if it > gets caught it will just melt and burn up.
