Try scoobyclinic. £650+vat for a fmic fitted - excellent price. Speak to them about the air filter etc.

Difficult to keep the stock my03 bov, you can however fit another re-circ one (v4 oem/forge etc) and that will minimise the noise from it. Bear in mind that with an induction kit (necessary to fit at least most of the FMICs you'll get some noise...
And yes a remap will be advisable.

yer was for a classic an i kept my fogs, had to cut lots of the bumper. have been told its easier fittin 1 on non classics as mine need a few mods to the kit an i had to make a hole bigger in my inner wing. The standered air box would be in the way of 1 of the pipes.

Yeah what's that about. I keep hearing of these Flat4 ones (which I think are Autobahn88 jobs) for under £300 yet they are on their website and on ebay at 350?

That used to be a good price, but apex performance are banging the autobahn88 ones out for £195 delivered these days for classics, just fitted one to my 1993 classic.

I looked at scoobyclinics price of £600+VAT and thought 'what a rip off'. After fitting it I'm thinking 'what a bargain'. The pipes are straight forward enough to fit, and cutting the hole in the wing was not too bad, but getting the bumper trimmed - what a nightmare. If you have the tools for the job and are used to cutting and shaving at things then you'll probably laugh at my efforts but the total time for cutting the bumper for me was 8 hours. Just spent all of the time with a hack saw, angle grinder and planer constantly offering the bumper up, trimming a bit only to find it was catching in a different place. I'm glad I did the job but it literally took twice as long as I expected.

Well as long as the Autobahn 88 ones do the job, who cares if it's not a top brand for that sort of money? I wasn't sure whether those sub £200 from Apex were a big job lot or whether they're a regular thing.
