Default K and N, worth it?

Thinking about getting a K and N for the Saph but I'm not sure. Anyone have any advice on whether it's worth the money?

Yeah a cone filter mate, 57i thing.

Not particularly bothered about the noise it makes as my Saph is standard and is driven about like Miss Daily is in the back.

I'd like to get shot of the big air box and give it a bit polish underneith though.

People think you're a ned anyway in a cosworth, adding a K&N makes no difference!

I'm way too old to be a ned bud, 32 in a few weeks!

I've owned loads of RS's and people still think you're a ned if you own one, it's always been the same trying to explain the difference between an enthusiast and a boy racer!
