put the cone inside airbox and cut big hole in airbox front for a big feed that way you sheid induction kit from hot air and have a big filter
its a lot of work to do this btw

u wont really gain any performance on a non turbo'd mota just by adding an iduction kit, maybe 1-3 bhp max but chances are u could loose torque (which aint good).
Really, all an induction kit is there for is to add a really throaty noise to the car when reving the engine 
personnally i'd go for a drilled air box and pvd panel filter (its alot cheaper than induction kit and u wont suffer from flat spots (which alot of people on here seem to suffer)

cos it sits right next to the engine and sucks in lots of hot air, which is the opposite of what u want

Drilled box for certain mate! I have tried both and i'm very impressed with a drilled box. Absolutely no flat spots and the noise levels are similar compared to an induction kit. The flat spots used to p!ss me off when trying to race from a standing start. Now it just goes. Like someone said, drill ur box and if u still aint sure buy a cone. Dont waste £70 staright away without trying a drilled box

The drilled air box sounds like the best bet. Especialy as if you dont like it youve spent nothing. If you have the money to burn though, go for a nice big cone cos they look ace under the bonnet. (yes where no one can see it).
