   Is ragged a technical term Mikey? Lol!
   
   Any enclosed filter will give better performance at speed e.g it will pick up better on the motorway or wherever.
   
   And an open one will just make noise but theres a few people who think there cars pull harder with an open one.
   
   Go Green Enclosed BTW.

   the only carbon one is the old procomp one. Everything else is carbon effect.
   
   Personally I'd fit a raceland enclosed with a Green filter as I don't think there is any performance gain to be had by spending a lot more money on the Green enclosed - though it does look and fit together much nicer.
   
   (BMC is carbon though)

    knN = poo imo
    viper = very floored imo with metal in it.
    green/raceland = very good and the more ideal set up

    Raceland and Green is a quality setup for the money!

    I agree Stay away from the Viper and K&N
    
    I remember in the old PGAC mag they put a viper on a 205 GTI and it lost 2 bhp and torquw from standard
    
    Buy the raceland one
