    Was thinking either a decent sized cone, or something like this

    you get the reducer rings with that kit so will fit most pipe sizes, personally i never noticed any difference between an open cone & a sealed unit & i've tried many different ones so i always go for an open cone

    I prefer an open cone myself

    Just need to fit a big one, I hate looking at engine with a tiny filter attached, I guess its a size thing!

    the filter i'm using at the minute isn't actually that big, but its the open end i was after to help keep the flow of air as straight as possible (& only cost £15 lol)

    i've tried quite a few different makes, i found Pipercross to be very good altho there was no power difference between there open cone (£30) & there Viper kit (£300)

    LINK for £15 its not bad at all, you would need your own reducer tho as its 3"(76mm) inlet

    i'd just make as much of a clear passage for the air as you can. I've never worked out those who leave an open cone hidden behind the battery, get it in the open flowing air
