Airbox wins over cone filter

Throttle bodies are the best solution however...

fully enclosed cones are ok, for factory look got to be air box!
throttle bodies sound the best.

Airbox Mine was a little fiddly and clips will rub on timing belt cover if you dont put something in the way but never the less looks far better IMO

Airbox or enclosed. Normal cone filter just sucks all the hot air off the engine. Standard airbox does fit but it is a bid fiddly to get in,has to go in on a certain angle really
