England air filters

Anyone tried any different types of induction kits on their MCS ? Only like everyone I want to know what works best before I buy one & if you believe manufactures they all work great giving 8 - 10 bhp. So help lads & ladies what works well ?

Further to that question: If most intake mods are comprised of a large filter and a pipe feeding air into the blower (on the S), then why do they cost so damn much? $400 for a pipe and a filter?

Is the stock setup really that restrictive, that it just takes a large diameter pipe to direct air into the filter to achieve 8-10 more hp?

There has to be more to it than this. Anybody have info?
