Re: Anyone using a Jamex...

[SCIROCCO2@t-online.de (Dirk Schneider)]

Hi !

I'm not using a Jamex, because they aren't to get here anymore,
especially not since Jamex is out of business.

So I got myself a Pipercross 16V airbox, that is very similar
to the Jamex one, at least what I  have seen from pictures.

can anybody confirm that the Pipercross and Jamex are similar ?
however, the intake-sound is great....
...and no problems so far :-)
