Makes no difference other than noise.

If I was you I'd go for a panel filter. It makes more noise than standard but the main thing is it's more useful than a induction kit. All they do is suck hot air in. You might as well have some use with your air filtration system. Go for a panel filter, it's cheaper too ;)

And a clean paper element is restrictive on these cars?

Not quite sure what you mean there Paul. The standard air filters are restrictive, I know you know that. And it still probably is with a k&n/pipercross or similar panel filter. All I know is they are better than standard. You could go drilling the airbox and adding a cold air feed to it. I know you know that too.

:D

No they're not.

Do you have evidence to the contrary?

have to agree with paul on this, a good clean regurlaly changed paper filter is any more restrictive than an aftermarket k&n, pipercross etc

the only benefit you have with an aftermarket one is that it an be cleaned and therefore can last longer!
