   Got my eye on a viper induction but not sure weather its truely worth the money, heard alot about there the best due to been enclosed and apparently the saxos stuggle with engine heat. Been told a few times that a panel filter will be just as good but i just cant see that been true.

   Your not really going to see any performance increase on air filters a great deal.

   You would be better with a good £30 pannel filter and air feed for performance but it varies from car to car

    id say go bmc, my vtr had a slight improvment with a k n 57i kit but when i put my bmc enclosed kit on it felt smoother and quicker accellerating. fuel mpg went down though :-)

    Would a panel filter be any good for someone thinking about 4-2-1 and cams etc?

    I had a viper air filter in my old vtr. Now i drive one which is standard and i feel my standard one is better with panal air filter. But i think Raceland enclosed, simmota, BMC CDA would be good.
