No not really bothered becasue it flys as it is, just want a meaty induction sound. So think an open kit is the best way forward.

If your looking for noise then an open filter will make more noise than an enclosed ram air because . . . its erm . . . enclosed funy enough :-)

I always was under the understanding that cotton filters (K&N, Green, Jetex etc) were always louder than a Foam filter (Pipercross) but alot of people here say foam is louder so take your pick, really not much to chooce between them really.

If your fittin a Cone why not take the chance to replace the 90o hose that links the airbox with the throttle body with a 90o silicone item. The OE is ribbed inside a silicone hose will be smoother inside aiddin airflow. Also why not ploish the inside of the throttle body while its all apart.

Like tesco's says "Every Little Helps" :-)
