Re: Air induction???? which one????
The Vader/Taipan give the best flow vs filtration with the BMC CDA and ITG Maxogen coming a close second.
Apparently the Elise boys and girls rate the Hurricane although I have not tested it.
Stay away from Piper-X since it is rubbish.
K & N would be way down the list too - old technology but cheap.

Re: Air induction???? which one????
Just to 'put a spanner in the works' - I've fitted a K & N Apollo fully enclosed cold air ducted filter. Fits in neat & tidy, but you have top make up a bracket for it. The open end of duct fits nicely in the LHS engine bay inlet duct in the side of the car - this gives plenty of good clean cold (outside) air. This filter allows plenty of air into the engine so increasing power together with a S/S Sports exhaust system. The only problem I guess is that it's a 'bummer' to take out and a 'million' nuts to undo to clean it! Cheers.
Eat your heart out! My car is a MGTF 160 Coupe LE - Monogram Black Olive - one of 30 in the world.

Re: Air induction???? which one????
Tested a load of these induction kits at Dave Walker's rolling road in Norfolk. Cutting a long story short, they're all pretty much of a muchness. So long as they're insulated from the engine bay heat, they'll work a treat. So get the one that suits your sense of aesthetics and pocket best.

Re: Air induction???? which one????
Other then extra induction noise there is little evidence that you find any gains with a stock engine over the TF's OEM induction system.
