Not common to keep the standard air box! Nice one!
I have the c20LET, think it's done around 150,000 miles by now, has been in about 5 different cars and after changing oil every 6000 miles it's still fine.

read a load of negatives about air box mods and even the k and n can upset the afm and bhp figures tend to be exagerated by the makers (wonder why? hmmn?) some say the only noticable difference is the intake noise .

mine has claimed to of done about 90k but still pulls like a train and tops the clock the only thing is it ticks a bit for a couple of mins from cold .

Most if not all Xe's tick for a few seconds, no bad sign as long as it stops after a min.

Like your Cav mate, seen it near the Canavon (sp) castle the other week.
