   take it you have a cone filter then?
   
   its a start. youd be better bining the crap filter for a decent enclosed system if you can afford to do so.

   yer buy carbon fibre one or a heat prove one. metal is a conductor, engines r hot, heat = less air = less performance.

   jsut make sure you never mount it low e.g in the lower gill or fog light area as so many people have shagged there engines after sucking water up after going through a puddle

    should be fine.
    probably unnoticeable, its not quite a supercharger yet but still im sure they'd be a difference once heat wrapped
