   Peco do good value back boxes, but they sometimes to sound naff.. and very loud!
   
   
   
   With the filters, to be honest the performance gains are all much the same. K&N are a good all rounder, Pipercross tend to give more noise, but a little less performance. Green filters are also good all rounders.
   
   
   
   You're probably best considering what will look right on your car...

   I would suggest Green because you'll have to do less pissing around to get the thing running.
   
   
   
   I had to make a custom air feed incorporating the air temp sensor to get my old 1.1i to run properly and it did affect the fuel mileage slightly.
