not really
As Ben has said, on it's own any panel filter will not offer any noticable gain.
When i tested an itg panel filter on my old 172, it made 1 bhp more than the standard element, (that was the average over ten runs)
edit - though saying that, if you did an open induction kit you might loose a few bhp due to heat soak, you will think it's faster as it will sound faster

No, i was talking about an open filter like a cone filter mate, an enclosed induction kit will always be better, but having an open ine will loose you a few bhp due to heat soak, but you won't notice it as it will sound faster due to the much louder induction noise
you won't any noticable gains from any filter - ie you won't bolt on an air filter, nail it down the road and actually notice an increase in performance, you will notice louder induction noise, which in turn gives a placebo effect thinking it is quicker

It is something that will add noise mate, it won't offer any performance increase as said, but it will sound a litter nicer.
If you're going to do it mind, remember that you will have to buy another airbox if you ever wish to sell the car, and also remember to drill the holes on the right side of the filter, otherwise you will be sucking in unfiltered air
