Curious to know how a X16XE with a pannel Filter sounds compared to induction kit?

As i'll be getting a induction kit/pannel filter soon, and I want maxium sound as I love the induction grunt of the X16XE's, but i'm worried about heat soak.

i've got courtney panel and de-restricrted the air box, and drilled it, gives a nice grunt, and much more responsive than havin a cone, my car came with a k'n'n cone filter when i got it, and i couldnt wait to change it, such a difference imo

p.s very jealous of the brocade sport, always wanted one

an inclosed one imo will be better as your bound to get a bit to much heat soak with an open cone.

the noise difference as andy said, but i've full exhuast system with de-cat so im not to bothered. i love the sound of my car with panel, de-cat, and middle and rear silencer

You could make a clip which came off the bottom and use the jubilee clip to hold it on or something.
