be careful as technically it will fail its MOT without the abs as the car was built/sold with ABS

If you get a split brake pipe you can still brake in a straight line in theory.

1. i cant see why you would remove a factory-fitted safety feature to fit a "better" air filter ?????? someone has already said its pointless....(filter mounted under bonnet surrounded by warm air)
2. when the car chassis number goes into mot stations computer it will print out that the car has ABS and it needs testing, so car will fail the mot test.
3. why not fit a k&n or a green cotton replacement filter in the original airbox and run a cold air feed pipe to the box ?

More control if you have a bias valve to the rear brakes. Unless you can load compensate then diagonal will lock the rears all the time. This time of year on cold tyres mine does it a lot...
No issues at all on mine for the mot
I prefer it without ABS to be honest. Always felt it kicked in too early. Lots of weight out and it's much easier plumbing in a hydraulic handbrake
