K&N with drilled box, thats what ive got on mine atm.
i find it better than the green cotton induction i had before, better than drilled with standard panel filter, but not quite as good as the BMC i used to have.

Expensive game when it munches AFM's Hence the reason for going back to standard drilled airbox and then getting panel filter for it  AFM should last longer with this set up

There are different BMC's for different cars, just like there are with K&N inductions.
Expensive though, but i found it was the best out of all ive had
