need advice for air filter and cold air feed

[andycrooke]

need advice on what air filter to get and what price range i looking at here, heres the lowdown:

a. i originally had a small k&n air filter (universal) which sounded great but as i had no air feed, it put too much hot air into the enigne therefore making it slightly slower! so i took it off and in process ripped the black rubber surround so i cant use it again

b. want to put another filter on but this time with a cold air feed pipe...now i can do this but as most k12 owners will know, you have literally a gap big enough for your arm between front grill and engine to place a small filter in there! can people advise best choice filter and where to buy with price?

c. standard square k&n air filter..only trouble with is will it provide a better rumbly sporty sound or will it just sound the same as my stock one?

answers on a postcard please (joke)

I have just started to modify my 160 SR and will be placing the cold feed pipe in the right handside fog lamp, but I am still trying to find a specific induction kit.

I have a universal cone filter and plenty of silcone ( left over from my s14a's surgery ) so will be shoe horning this in if I have no luck with finding a kit.

Did this today, there is a small difference in sound at higher revs, slightly more 'rumbly'. But for power I haven't yet noticed any difference, and am yet to see the effect on mpg.
