Not got one myself but the most common one is the Hurricane.

I've got the K&N, half the price of the Hurricane and sounds great, easy to clean, no complaints.

I got the hurricane, bit tricky to fit without taking off the wheel arch liner, but easy enough. Couldn't tell what it did to the noise as I had previously fitted a Larini Club Sport (Which did fit...)

or if you're a mechanical nonce like me, you could always just upgrade your existing filter to an ITG panel filter:-

Exactly what I did but only cos my old filter needed changed. It made no difference to noise.

I'm running a janspeed 'zorst ant the ITG panel, only noise increase is a nice induction whine at 3k revs and above.

I just fitted a Hurricane on my S2, I already had a Lotus sports exhaust, the Hurricane makes it very loud under hard acceleration, quite a good deep sound.

I'm an ITG fan (real thing, not the panel :D )

But a hellish price
