Default Best induction kit for a MK6? [OPINIONS]

I've got a MK6 Fiesta 1.25, I know I won't really gain anything from an induction but anything is better than nothing with such a small engine.

Would anyone recommend a particular set up or brand? Or what do you have personally?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try and get one that is enclosed with a cold air feed or at least route some cold air from as low down as possible to it. As you say wont give it any noticable performance but the cold air wont hurt it and may make it slightly more resoonsive. Something like K&N Viper i think they were called

I like K&N, always do well in mag tests, just make sure it aint sucking in hot air, try and get some heat shielding around it and good cold air feed to make the most of it.

Couldn't really seem to find anything on the viper thing apart from the car. I don't know whether I'd be better going for a kit or just a standard air filter to go in the existing box seeing that they don't have much to offer.

If you want it to make the most power then fit a panel filter in the standard box, if you just want to make noise then fit an induction kit.

Is there anything which would give me the best of both worlds? Or what would you personally recommend?

K&N panel filter with a drilled air box (drill on the UNFILTERED side of the box) then get a cold air feed running to it
