   I went for Green in the end but either K&N, ITG or Green i'd go for when it comes to panel filters, they're all very good.

   By removing all the rubbish pipework and using a decent bit of feed pipe along with the panel filter it definitely made a difference, maybe not to out and out power but it was a lot more responsive at the very least.
   I also used a simota enclosed induction kit after this, mainly just for the looks and noise as the performance difference between the kit and the panel filter was nothing IMO.

   So I believe. Just spoke to a guy who will be doing some jobs on the car, mainly tracking and lowering it etc and he said he would do it, won't take him long aparantly. Best place to get the feed from? Maybe kam racing as that's where I'm getting the filter from.
