   Will these improve perfomance over stock filter? I don't want a induction kit as I cant be dealing with the maintence and cleaning of them etc.. plus I want something discrete looks wise.
   
   Will it make anydiffrence noise wise and will fuel ecomony suffer?
   
   Thanks!

   pannel filter will be better then standard 1 but dont expext tyre shreding performance
   
   doubt it will make any noise
   
   you will still need to clean it

   If you take off the resinator box and make a decsent air feed you will get an improvement of noise and air flow.
   
   As hesslevtr said no tyre shreading performance and will still need to clean it

   if u make a decent feed and take off the resonator box do u reckon that u can make the oe box asm good as an aftermarket close induction kit

   Its possible but not quite as good as a proper enclosed but still an improved flow over the standard air filter and an open induction kit
   
   You wont go wrong lets put it that way !!!!
