its only a panel filter your buyin
any cotton or foam based panel filter will do - the cheaper the better

the only difference is that if you neglect foam filters then they start fallin apart & bits get sucked into the intake
the best money can buy will be the PVD one

Most people I have spoke to said I do need to reset it, but wanted to ask the resident experts
neiliosxi - What made you get the PVD Cone instead of just drilling the air box and getting a filter??
ALSO - Wheres that post gone that compares the perfomace of them all??

you may aswell reset it, if u dont it will reset over time i think, but doing it manually will be quicker if you dont need the car for an hour or so

its pretty simple to compare
std airbox = cold air, no noise
cone = warm air, noise, slight drop in driveability due to warm air
cone with cold air = noise, plus slight increase in accel due to increased airflow & cold air & better driveability
drilled airbox = same idea as above but cheaper
the performance increase is negligible but it will feel faster due it being more free revving with the increased airflow
also, a cone is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye
comprendé?

foam allows more air thru than cotton, but cotton has a better filtration rate than foam
6 of one, half a dozen of the other really

SO if I have drilled the airbox I mayas well just get the panel filter and forget about the BFO Cone as it will be just about as good yeah??

yep
also if you do the box properly you can get a better noise because the noise will reverberate in the box
basically instead of drilling you want to cut a big square out of the front
you also get cold air coming in round the light housing
