Nice one Matt, although many people are of the opinion that k&n or green are the way forward!

trouble is been told that because the pipercross if foam (suppose like the green) it draws more air in therefore giving out more performance where as the k&n is a cone filter and restricts the air flow more now how true this is i dont know.

in recent tests i think it was in fast ford, the k&n actually performed the best (something stupid like +10bhp?! i really can't see that from an induction kit...). I went for the Green from personal recommendations, and i'm very happy with it.

think the gain in power is because the original air box is mounted on top of the hot engine block and the air has to travel through loads of 90 degree pipes to get into the engine
