what sort of sound does it give?

[TehSniper]

plenty of induction noise and a good roar it makes a massive difference!

wont damage the car with the heat soak?

[TehSniper]

Not that I know of and it's still pretty much enclosed in the bottom section of the air box and has a good feed of cold air from the PD intake

Heat does not damage the engine, it reduces the power produced.

More heat means less dense air (less oxygen), so there is less power produced in combustion.

I found with my old tune the car felt slower with an open filter in the engine bay, but I'm in Australia, so it can get fairly warm.

Best option for me is PD160 intake section into stock box with jabbasport style filter and top of air box coupled with Forge 008. Not much dump noise, quiet for traffic, reasonably loud when pushed.
