   Oooh, did i do wrong?
   
   Yeh the BMC CDA filter is good, iv never seen someone use one of those filters on a saxo though. UNless your going enclosed though and aftermarket filter is as good as the next really

   you do realise that 'universal' usually means a lot of work involved getting it fitted.

   Raceland make good enclosed filters on a budget. Combined with a green filter your have a pretty good setup! (Porbably the most common used by members of the forum)
   
   You can pick up a raceland cheap on ebay. Leckie has just bought one for £54 so you can see how he gets on in his progress thread

    If you can stretch your budget to a direct fit filter I think you might be better off mate, but saying that there is nothing wrong with a universal filter just you might find it wont sit rite etc etc
    
    Brand is good tho nothing wrong there.
    
    Dont expect to see a amazing difference in performance, look at it as the first step with manifold and full exhuats as the rest of it.

    That filter is BMCs new budget induction kit. I'd steer clear of universal kits and save a little more for a CDA

    simota kits (dpmotorsport) aren't carbon like the green is.

    green, the ecnlosure is carbon fibre.
    BMC is carbon fibre.
    
    thats why they cost so much.
