   You wont get an airfilter unless you second hand that will give you power for that price, you will only get a cone filter which aren't any good, they just give you noise..
   
   For performance you want an enclosed filter like a BMC or something similar.
   
   Just keep your standard airbox and put a green cotton panle filter in. No more noise but might feel slightly more responsive..

   Best for sound, i'd say pipercross or Green open kits. These are shit though and will suffer from heat soak, and you will lose power.
   
   Enclosed kits are better for performance. I have a Raceland one atm. Its not as loud as my open Green kit i had before, but still gives a nice tone.
   
   You can pick up a Raceland, with a bigger, Green filter inside for £90 from KamRacing.

   Bargin!
   
   Looks a decent bit of kit, its easy to fabricate a induction system as after all its just a filter on the end of a pipe its upto you to make it as creative as you like.
   
   With an open filter make sure that you have somekind of pipework or tubing to bring cold air to the filter otherwise it will be a waste of money!
   
   Should make a nice noise under hard accelaration
