piperx mate.
got one on mines and sounds a hell of a lot better than any K&N will. deeper
had a mate who had a k&n and it was really bad sounding. mines is deep and throaty with the cold air feed too so recommended :happy:

i know a guy who does photoshoots for pipercross and he gets a big discount on kits. i think hes stopped working for them now but i got new filter,cold air feed and oil breather for £50 all in i think which was about as much as a cold air pipe and panel so jus went for it.

i think any other time tho id go for a panel, but its diff people and diff needs.
i jus like the sound mines gives off, only reason i havent taken it off.
good luck mate and fill us in on how u get on
