I use a K&N panel filter, supposed to breathe easier.

I had an induction kit, it didnt seem to make any difference. I have now put the standard airbox back on with a K&N panel filter & it seems a little better

I use a pipercross panel filter!

Doesn't feel much different or change the sound!

Just saves replacing each service! :D
