   Also seen then normal 57i but i guess the gen 2 would be alot better performance, well i would have thought so for double the money!!

   To be fair mate they will both give the same output on a smaller engine anyway so its not worth getting the GEN 2.
   
   
   If you want performance then you want an enclosed kit like a raceland one.
   
   
   But for the money you prob wont notice a difference, so if your after noise just get a open cone cheap like a K&N gen 1

   ^^ agree with ben, modding a 1.1 performance wise is not really worth the £££ imo. if its the noise your after then get a cone filter for £20 as there will be hardly any difference in that and the enclosed apart from the amount of money you will have saved

   Ok lads cheers, just thought id look into it. Got a univesal air filter on atm, sounds ok not much power difference thought. The 57i gen 2 does look good though
