Take it out, that's a start. Sorry to be flipant, but you're probably hindering your performance with that.
OK, what car is this filter for?

I would start by getting a enclosed filter then a exhaust system with a de-cat pipe and a manifold.If you want more power and still got a spare grand(roughy)then get a set of cams and a re-map.

as said, you'll lose power probably via this filter.
if budget isnt a problem, ring Pug1Off, hear they can put a GTi-6 engine in your Saxo.

Budget no problem, Drop a EW engine in out of a 206 GTI180 or similar and put throttle bodies on that. Or supercharge or turbocharge your TU engine.

If budget isn't a problem then turbo it up! Enclosed air filter, exhaust system, supersprint manifold, new cams and a remap.
Cheers
