Just wondering what is the best type of air filter induction kit you guys can reckonmend.

currently on my C16XE i have a drilled airbox and im pretty happy with it, altho i took it for a spin without the standard airfeed and it was pretty damn loud not sure if it makes a difference or not

just wondering what sorta setup u guys have, obviously bar the Tb guys

de-restricted airbox, cold air feed, panel filter. by swapping different set-ups round whilst on the rolling road this produced flatter tourqe curve and smoother power delivery.

i thought previously everyone went on about these carbon filters being all show with no really advantages over the standard airbox.

also where du guys put your cold air feeds, isnt it a bit tight putting it on the side of the radiator?
