Air Filter question

I have just ordered a Piperx Air Filter which shoud be here anyday. What sort of improvement if any can I expect??
Also in the very nr future Im hoping to go for an Induction kit of some sort..should I stick with the same make or not?...does it matter??

Thanks guys

I'm being tempted back to a MINI....

I have one fitted to my Cooper and found that it improved response, it is a lot smoother when accelerating, than the standard filter.

Also I have found it has improved fuel economy a little bit.

I've had one fitted for a couple of weeks now, car definately pulls better from lower rev's and sound better too

Really easy to fit only a 5 minute job with a screwdriver.

Pipercross do some really nice induction kits, got my eye on a Pipercross "Limited Edition" Black Mamba Viper Kit from lohen but don't tell the wife.
