   They are all pretty much the same. Pretty pointless anyway, as i doubt you will be able to feel a difference.
   
   On an engine with a relatively low power output (98BHP) a panel filter upgrade will have no real noticeable effect.

   Panel filters are probably better than most induction kits
   
   And any mate, just pick one as there all pretty much the same, get a extra cold air feed to the airbox and your laughing

   Cheers mate will probably go for the green filter seems to be an easy fit & will get one of them aluminium feeds. Seems to be the way forward. Btw stupid question but is there anything else you can do to just the airbox to help it all breath abit better?
   Thanks

   Smooth the insides! And could try wrapping it in heat-reflective material just for piece of mind

   Panel filters are without a doubt the way forward.
