The one on mine is identical to a BMC carbon one, its an enclosed filter, and that sounds quite loud.

Looking at pics its similar to a K&N viper.

Mine was cheap too.

Halfords cones are quite loud.

But look worse than a bird with herpies:(

Random question, do people still buy filters brand new? Ever since iv started driving i have picked them up for a tenner or so and have had loads of them, would never pay £100+ for a filter.

Also, imo i have always favoured pipercross over k&n. They usually sound better and definetly look better and not as cheap. I have a large one on my nova which came off my mates old pulsar. I don't know what it sounds like though as my exhaust sort of drowns everything else out lol
