Increased air flow,nice throttle responce,no flat spots(unlike the induction kit)and you don't have to replace it every time you service the car,just clean it...my k&n says you have to clean it once every 50-100k miles,but it really depends on where you drive the car,dust etc.I'd say you have to clean it once every 12-15k miles.

And you can drill your airbox(do a search it has been asked million times before and theres a tutorial on it)and put a cold air feed to futher increase the air flow,you get a nicer sound too.

nothing you do with the air filter is going to make the slightest bit of difference on a 1.2 8v
