Since it's a 1.5 NA engine, whether you choose drop-in filter or open-pod filter will alter how the car feels.

If you treasure your low-end torque, go for a simple drop-in filter like the K&N filter, this will retain low end torque but won't give much breathability up top.

If you prefer more 'power' at the top end, then go for the open-pod, but due to the reduced back pressure in the intake track, you will probably lose some end low.

On a 1.5R engine tho, not really required for both, just my 2 cents.

Enjoy!
