I'm thinking of just putting a panel filter in mine hopefully will make a better noise. Just want to keep it looking oem under the bonnet
Thinking of staying with the panel too ! :/ descisions ey. Just don't want any loss of power so would have to route it well. Il keep you informed 
You have to be careful which panel filter you get though as most of them are built to not enhance the sound just the air flow
Just bought a pipercross viper CAI from ebay mate, got it brand new realy gd deal, worst case scenario is to just put it back on ebay

oooo very nice mate, I want to hear the sound!! haha, keep us updated lad.
Il get a link up for a cup of the air filter ! Or a meet ? Just need to find a decent location for it to go with minimal pipe bends. Looking like a silicone hose job !
I've just found an air filter new in its box in my shed so I might put it on tonight or tomorrow night. Ill keep you informed
Well I thought seems as though its not raining ill go and put the filter on. Not too impressed to be honest no extra grunt sound at all. You can here the turbo spinning when you let off but it's quiet so if your looking to do it I wouldn't bother. Maybe it might be better after a remap?
Couple of pics to show you before I take it off. Went out this morning and I feels like its lost power.
