Default What's the best air-filter for cossie???

Hey People!

I already have a K&N panel (replacement) filter.

But I'm thinking to buy a K&N 57i filter-kit for my Saff 4x4 cossie (a nice cone)

What is the best solution to buy????

Some people say: panel filter is the best, other say that Cone-filters are better

Please help
