induction kit with heat shield is slightly better (and i mean like maybe 1hp better on a nice engine) but cost a lot more - unless u know sum1 then its gonna set u bk like 60 quid. a panel filter offers nearly the same performance but for about 35 quid so its up 2 u really. depends if u got money 2 spend 2 get the best
