that looks like a universal cone filter to me, its not designed as a drop-in replacement, you'll have to figure it out yourself, or return it and buy a proper kit.

Theres little point putting a filter like that on your car anyway. It'll probably just lead to it drawing in hot air from under the bonnet and making less power.

Do not buy those cheap unbranded filters. They can cause harm in the form of not filtering nearly well enough and destroying MAFs etc. I know this because I did it a few years back on my Golf 1.8t and the MAF died on the very first drive lol.

I've been in the tuning scene for about 8 years now and can tell you one conclusive statement: products like those are not going to achieve anything except a change in induction noise. The factory airbox flows well on most cars until you map it for a substantial gain in power, in which case you buy the expensive stuff - not £35 eBay trash.

i installed it , the MAF seems to be working fine though , been about 5 days now . sounds a bit better but not that much difference , any suggestions on what i can get to increase the sporty sound ?

Thanks

Exhaust work is the only way to get a significant amount of noise. Have the backbox replaced with one that lets more noise through, or if you want to get really loud then have it deleted altogether. Have a word with Top Gear Exhausts in Watford maybe.
