So my decision is this, I'm running a stage 2 Ibiza FR tuned by AMD.

Its currently fitted with an open cone, but the car also came with a green cotton filter in standard airbox thats been drilled

Is there any chance of noticable power delivery and amount between the two? fitting the box again looks to be a slight pain so thought id ask for advice here first, i believe the car was RR'd with the green filter fitted and it made 244bhp

There's not going to be any noticeable difference, but an open cone will drastically reduce your fuel consumption because you'll keep flooring it to hear the noise!

I've always run a green cotton filter in standard box with a PD160 intake, always produces good reasults and can still get decent consumption if I'm careful.

I walk to work :D only 1.8 miles my average consumption reads 26 mpg :lol:

Found a place to build me a battery box goin down on pay day to get it built up :)
