Won't really feel a noticeable difference, will mainly be sound.

Panel, the standard air box works fine unless you want noise.

if its a 180 the typhoon does make a difference in the drive of the car (the noise is awesomes too  ) iv had my 180 for years and had standard, k&n panel filter, pipercross and the typhoon and the typhoon is by far the best. not saying its gonna add loads of horsepower but the pickup is a lot more responsive and it revs a lot more freely. it may have lost a little of the torque at low revs but seems more powerful when its 4k rpm plus

As above, much of a muchness.
If you want sound, Typhoon
If you're not bothered, I'd suggest panel filter.

Has anyone done a back to back comparison on a dyno to actually see where the gains/losses really are with standard panel,K+N type panel open cone and enclosed type filters?
Would be nice to see some actual figures.

It's so minimal, I'm not sure It'd even show up to be perfectly honest.
