Pipercross panel is the best choice, I have tried an induction kit but was not keen on it.

I've got an aluminium heatshield. You might lose power on a dyno but on the road I think it would be negligible.

hi-jacking here but when buying a cone filter what else do i need to have with it? (may be a dumb question) but do i need to get any piping with it? or does that come in the box.

If its designed for your model then should come with all parts required to fit.

You will need a breather filter for the SAI pipe
