Which sounds better? K&N gauze cone filter or a Pipercross foam one?
This is for a GTi6 engine. I've tried K&N many times but never run a PiperX one.

To clarify: I've got a K&N open cone that sounds pretty good and I've found a PiperX one in a cupboard that I was wondering whether or not to bother trying it out. If foam does sound noticeably different or better I might give it go.
Thanks.

Wire gauze, no air filter! BWAAAAAARP!!
But seriously, I've found that all cones make a pretty good grunting noise. I'm currently using a K&N cone, but I used a cheapo metal one on my 106 gti and made a good noise aswell.
