was reading Wak's post here Wak box mod, have I done it right?
and I need a confirmation (I'm not a native english speaker), is the next phrase sarcasm? or is it for real?

so based on the above, dont bother with a Wakbox just stick a panel filter in the stock box cos they work! or go get a neuspeed open cone with its Heat Shield for ÂŁ180 squids cos that heat shield is worth every penny and going to keep the cone icy cool! :roll:

it looks like sarcasm to me, but thanks for clearing this out.
I've shortlisted a wak-box and a Neusepped P-Flo and I don't know if Wak is loughing at their shield, if it's worth the money or not...
A panel filter upgrade in a stock box is a complete waste of time/money.

Do a Wak box mod with a panel filter for best Improvement with keeping it stealthy.

Get an open cone with a velocity stack and 3” tip for best intake improvement but any good open cone like a neuspeed pflow will work well.

DO NOT go for any enclosed filters mostly terrible.

Personally I don’t think so or what it will add is negligible.
I.E. Returns for the effort or cost are not worth it imo, but they can make for good support to a setup and look good.
 
I’m running an open cone k&n dry filter with a skunk2 velocity stack.
No heat shield I still have the cold air ducting to the wing area which again is a lot of effort for minimal gain but it all helps.
