172 induction kit v panel filter

[smitchell1]

What does everybody think works better, I have a full powertec induction kit with cone filter at the moment but im hearing a lot of people finding better gains out of the standard air box with the ITG panel filters and enlarged cold air feed tubing running into the original airbox??

I love the induction noise but are the gains worth changing??

Panel hands down

Any particular panel filter I should be getting?? ITG, Ktec, K&N etc???

Does a panel filter change the sound at all like an open induction?
I'm in it for the sound tbh.

Not really, if you were to drill a few holes in your airbox then you'd get a bit more noise without possibly sacrificing power with an open cone. They're more for turbo cars tbh. To get power from an induction kit on an NA car you'll usually have to pay quite a lot.
