forget the air filter you would be wasting like 100quid for a air filter that wont help your car sound any better, drill your airbox think there is a guide for this in tutorial section, ye a backbox would be good but you need to decide how you want your car to sound before choosing one.

a cone filter instead of the airbox.
Straight through remus style middle section with a new backbox.

Could be had for £130 aswell

Magnex are probably one of the best you can get for sound.

scorpion back boxes make nice tones as theyre more touring car-ry sounds than raw 'modded' sounds if you get me?

i had a scorpion monza box with a remus centre sounded lovely for a 1.2 sxi, lots of pops too.god a sound recording somewhere i'll try post it up for you.
