Right, i need to get the joke 'induction kit' off my car so need a panel filter? Does K&N seem to be the best? What about the Courtney one? Need to order it today so any advice is appreciated!

foam ones can dry out and become brittle after a bit, especially with pipercross.

standard paper ones in a derestricted box are not very good because the fan shaped paper sucks together in some areas making a barrier so the air flow has to go round the airbox to somewhere else to get through.

iv got a k&n and have no problems at all.

think its just down to personal choice which you go for in the aftermarket ones
