Default Which filter ?? Can't decide...

I'm re-doing my induction, currently using a green stuff universal filter and some sh1tty alloy tubing.
Just ordered some nice smooth pipe with beaded ends but can't decide which filter to go with.
KandN, green stuff, blitz, cosworth etc etc.

What do you reckon chaps ?

The piping was a bit 'DIY' and needed an upgrade. The new stuff I've bought Is far better.
The filter, well it's ok but want to stick a new one on and maybe go slightly larger. Did think about an RCM kit but refuse to pay £200 for what in theory is a £40 KnN filter and fancy trumpet.

Agreed about the RCM,but sometimes you can find them for good money here

Or you can make your own and best suited your needs

One of these from the Samco turbo inlet..

Into one of these....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLUE-Silic...item46025f3ab2

Then into this....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-76mm-All...item27bebe8862

Onto this....

http://www.knfilters.co.uk/search/pr...x?Prod=RC-5106

But got the filter from opie oils. Was actually cheaper to buy from them rather than KandN direct.

Wanted to keep the filter as far away from the engine as poss.

Was an absolute ball ache. Had to move the ABS unit forward to fit as the new filter is that much bigger.

Did you do it yourself buddy, I found changing the up-pipe was a bit of a pain on mine.
