197 Airfilter??

[chris197sport]

Hi all,
Im considering upgrading my airfilter on my 197 to hopefully gain more Bhp when i get it chipped. I understand the importance of the engine needing cold air and not just lots of warm air drawn in from the engine bay. Im looking for something like this -

If anyone has any sugestions other than the usual replacement panel filters or "just stick a K&N on it" i would appreciate it....

Don't think many places have had a chance to 'tweek' or play with many 197s yet even though they've been out a year.

Play it safe - panel filter & a Remap

edit- Speak to j11ase on here hes had loads done to his 197

thats what i did well nearly
i have put in the itg panel filter for now and remap will be later in the year
a induction kit will be possible but not very easy to get a decent size cold air pipe to it due to position of the battery

the filter doesnt make a huge diffrence on its own but will make you car breath easer

I was looking on the K&N website at the weekend and they do a carbon enclosed induction kit

I was going to get a remap but it now looks more unlikely. May just leave it as it is and buy a new car.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, think i need a trip down to K-Tec for a pannel filter and re-map. Possibly some H&R lowering springs too...
