dude can i ask why you want a filter? they dont really give bhp gains in some cases you lose some bhp due to the heat soak i would upgrade the panel filter. unless you just want noise which is understandable

No idea if BMC make a filter for the 9n, but if they do that'd be the one I'd recommend. They don't come cheap though!

They also do a CDA (carbon dynamic airbox IIRC) which is an enclosed cone filter with a cold air feed. They do them for the 6n/6n2 but charge over £100...

mate just change the panel honeslty i cant justify changing to an enclosed induction kit or open filter induction kit unless you want noice the bhp gains dont justify £100+++ the standard air box is designed to work well with the car you may even lose bhp with an open filter but gain a couple with an enclosed with a good air feed...

agree with what you say but i think just the panel should be changed i think the engine should be left standard as its not really a tuneable engine but i would like the cda just for the sound but it is expensive...
