   forgive me on my lack of knowledge on cars,
   
   was just wondering whether this air filter will fit on my W reg furio mk2,

   is it a simple case of just bolting it on? or is there any mods that need doing to get it to fit?
   
   also, I am planning on getting either a magnex back box, or similar, will this filter affect the sound at all?
   
   
   thanks, and sorry for the daft questions, just got no idea on cars

   Both will mate. But pretty sure most people on here would say an open cone filter would just suck in hot air from the engine and make it worse. But i'm not a pro just what i've seen about here.

   Thanks for the reply,
   
   what air filter would you recommend? ideally low cost if possible?
   
   Thanks again

   Pretty sure a panel filter with a cold air feed would be better. I've got a k&n panel in the original air box, with a few drilled holes and a cold air field from the bottom grille. But each person has there different ideas on what works.
   
   EDIT: Just realized you have a mk2 not sure if my setup would work.

   by drilled holes do you mean on the standard air box?
   
   is this advisable?
   
   again, sorry for the daft questions!

   Your best bet is to go to your local car shop and ask them for advice. That's what I do if I'm unsure of what parts will/won't fit.
