Thanks for all the info guys! Really would love the pssshhhtttt noise but want my engine to be as healthy as it can be! What I've read so far with panel filters and induction systems has been 50, 50! I am unsure what to go for! Read a lot of people saying that induction kits are a drawback as they just suck in hot air from the engine! I will eventually get an intercooler fitted! I want it to be as cold as I can get it!

The standard Bosch DV is very good so unless it needs replacing stick with it. A cone filter will flow better that the air box. As you've got a SS exhaust I'd go for a TIP. Forge TIP  are good but the SFS super size are the ones to go for. Keep away from the creation motor sport crap.

lol ,your sig and still with out a map/ get it remapped.  :wink:

It's booked in at R-Tech at the end of September  :wink:

Cone filters flow so much better. As for sucking hot air in I'm not so sure. Static on a RR... but driving cold air moves backwards through the engine bay. Any way a big FMIC will take care of intake temps.

I've got a honda S2000 filter

Jetex, Green filters are good and BMC twin cone. At the end of the day it's an air filter buy which one you like the colour of.
