Have you searched?
What are you after an induction kit or just a filter?
A very quick and simple search on eBay brought back all these:

I wouldn't bother unless its just for the sound. Save your money. Still if you do buy one please let us know what its like.
Agree with phey on that its give or take 2-5 tops on an induction/panel filter depending on engine size and turbo's etc so may make a small 3ish bhp difference but you wouldn't notice that might improve throttle response but some say that's a placebo effect should make a little bit of a throaty noise though . The forced induction from forge etc may make a bit more bhp but not a lot more really and I would only tend to get one of those if I was going remap.
I'd avoid K&N because it has an oily coating know it may not effect it but in my DS the MAF sensor has gone and that I feel down to the oily coating getting onto the sensor so I'll just go for green cotton filters or forced air inductions

But the bloke down the pub said a 6 inch tailpipe trim and a filter off Ebay was getting him 200bhp from his Saxo?

He is taking the p*ss
Ibizaracebrake is one of the most respected modders on the forum!
Lol +1. if ibizaracebrake says its gives 20hp it does
hahaSorry, I couldn't resist repeating the sort of nonsense you see on 'other' forums. But, the only car that's beaten me on the strip recently was a saxo, ( RWD mid-engined!)

if you add a sports air filter, you will just gain more noise plus maybe 1-2bhp, same with an induction kit, but you have to work out if its worth it, you will use more fuel too, unless you have a loud exhaust system id say its not worth it, sports air filters can make an exhaust louder but not on a standard exhaust system. plus depending on what air filter you buy, k&N have to be cleaned and re oiled plus some dont clean the air as well as standard filters.

Loud exhaust systems arn't worth it either, loud doesn't equal fast, in fact most times it makes the car slower.

oh i see, i mean sometimes, if you have a loud exhaust that sounds nice, you can get a nice burble with a sports airfilter, but im only talking experience from my gsxr750, so obviously correct me if im wrong lol, i think a sports airfilter on its own on a car sounds like its grunting lmao
