Best 4.4 v8 come filter?

Looking at different mods for up front and I see some say the stock air of needs removing and swapping out for a cone - are there any better than others?

When you do a mid range facelift, (maybe late-lift too) you have to junk the v8 air filter. ( don't know the td6) so there is slightly limited room, so you typically fit a universal cone filter, like a k&n type. Although you can get them for £10 this means you are now up and running. There is a spare pipe that you then find a miniature universal cone filter, and fit it on the pipe, as you can't typically plumb it into the old filter housing. This sits verticle near the rad. The new larger cone filter sits high facing the inner wing, it also needs a small stay bracket, to be sure it doesn't shake loose. You WILL get increased induction roar, when you pull away to overtake etc. Sounds nice, but it does sort of spoil the 'waft' of driving the Rangie around. It a small price to pay though for an updated look. I did mine as my headlights were falling to pieces inside. Mid range headlights are very affordable. Late ones are mega bucks.
Look for a colour coded bumper and have it shipped, to save you spraying one that is locally sourced.
There are how-to's on face lifts on this forum.

Can you run a bmc cda on it or piper cross viper? I prefer those styles and you can get proper cold air without heat soak

I've been looking at the BMC CDA as i have used these before not sure if its an issue that the inlet is smaller than the outlet - this is by design but surely this restriction couldn't be good?
