Hi all I have a 1.0 envoy I've heard that cone air filters draw hot engine air being less dense less power etc, also they ruin the MAF over time would a panel filter and de-restricting airbox be beneficial only being a 1.0 ? Cheeeeers

It would be a waste of your fuel economy unless you just want the noise I wouldn't bother a panel filter may help a little but it won't be noticeable a lot of people think the air boxes are restricted but the extra boxes/pipes are just resonator boxes they reduce the induction noise of the engine not restrict it
