I had a piper job on mines and apart from the heat soak the noise was superb one of these days i really should put the thing in the inner wing where it belongs instead of lying in my garage

What engine you got?

You mention cone, is that purely down to budget and/or ease of installation?

Cone inner wing will be the cheapest and probably give more growl.

Other will depend upon engine type and deep pockets.

Well in that case get all the hoses off ebay as there are some good dealers on there and get a Green Filter, that should be the cheapest possibly.

BMC or in the wing are probably the best options for the 180, they certainly seem to be the only ones that work properly!

Got a RAID foam cone filter on my inner wing set up. Huge cone filter and have had it for about a year and a half now and just keep washing it with proper filter washing solution. Cost me about 70 quid for the cone filter.

The inner wing setup is when you take out the resonator that takes up a large space at the bottom left hand side of the front bumper. The space that is created is where your open cone filter goes. Take out the rest of the crap OE induction piping all the way up to the throttle body and fit a flexy hose from there to the cone filter in the wing. Many people (including myself) cut out the plastic apeture to get direct CAF directly onto the filter.

My flexy pipe going down from my throttle body to the cone in the inner wing.

And the filter in the inner wing with apeture cut out. You can just see the filter in the inner wing.

Hope that helps.
