    demands how much your willing to spend mate, encosed airfiters are the best, however thats the best part of £200

    powerflow, they custom make them and you can tell them how loud you want it!

    for a 1.0 air filter anything from ebay I guess as it doesnt have any performance to worry about losing!? they are about £30 and look like a K&N

    If your just after a nice exhaust noise, i would't buy an uprated filter and just get a backbox. Maybe magnex.
    Depends on budget really.

    A cold air feed into the std air box wont make any more noise (which your after) and for the £30 id buy a cone filter and have the std one to put back on (un-bodged) when you poss get a VTR or VTS if thats what your after doing?

    Agree with the backbox idea though you could get one from ebay for pennies

    a backbox will usually not make a huge difference in noise unless its quite big and then they tend to sound a bit poo imo
    most guys will get a straight through for the note and a small backbox to keep the volume down

    as for the filter an open cone will make the most noise

    Hi guys,
    Just a quick question about standard air filters. I've just bought a VTR and my mate has a 106 Quicksilver which he is selling. He said I could have his Pipercross air filter for free so long as my standard air filter would fit his 106. Could anyone tell me if they are the same/fit? As i know the 106 and Saxo are pretty much the same car from the chassis upwards. Thanks
