   reasonable question.
   as a rule. the bigger the filter, the less restriction.
   the colder the air, the more dense it it.

   The best induction kits are the enclosed ones like the BMC ones or the Green Cotton/Raceland ones.
   
   On a standard car though you cant really beat the standard induction setup with a decent panel filter replacement from Green Cotton, K&N, Pipercross etc. You wont really gain anything with an aftermarket induction kit.

    Procomp
    
    Hard to get hold of though. The Raceland/Simota style ones are good value for money and sound great too if thats your thing

    If its pure sound you want and dont want to spend a fortune just get an open cone filter.

    Maybe the best for your saxo will be to buy panel K&N,. The effect will be the same ias with a more expensive filter. The cold air is the most important at all, because it have higher dansity thanthe hot as you know . Dont waste a lot of money for air induction kit in my opinion you wont feel big difference on VTR at all. Cheers!

    +1 totally agree.
    
    On a standard car the stock airbox with a panal filter is going to be as good an option as any.
    
    But if you want a nice throaty sound then the best kits are generally the enclosed induction kits, many of which have a decent enough cold air feed.
    
    Open cone filter is cheap and sounds awesome when you nail it, but heat soak from a warm bay means less power.
    
    And as mentioned, not much power to be gained on a standard car with even a well designed induction kit. On a higher spec car, different story.
