Pipercross did a foam cone & the viper kit for the 850 (they used BT as the template). Having tried both I wouldn't bother with the viper, but the cone was a lot better than the K&N 57i kit I used to have

:) THANKS for that mate! i had a sponge pipercross cone on my old gull saloon and thought it was great! only thing is had to DIY the old fitment side of things as the filter i used was not meant for the car! :)

I got a k&n 571 kit on mine. Meant to be for a fiat coupe but works well.

Thanks MRP but don't really want a paper cone filter or stainless steel as it only rusts mate. Prefer the sponge type filters personally as there much easier to maintain and clean too :)

Stainless wont rust. If its chrome coated it will. If its stainless a magnet wont stick unless its 409l which is magnetic
