OEM does the job

So no need for an upgrade ? Just after a bit noise

Ahhhh you never said you were after an upgrade 

Search function is your friend. EVOMS or ITG Maxogen are the best for noise and performance. Hit YouTube for videos of the noise

I ran a K&N panel and it was great. Slight increase in performance and throttle response

OEM paper filter is fine.

I used to use an ITG panel filter in the past and felt something extra vs the oem paper one.

I ran a paper filter at stage 2+ and it ran perfectly fine. Tried performance filters and there was no perceivable difference. Just change your cilter every 10k and you will be fine.
On my current car I have tried K&N and Pipercross and I still cant feel any difference in performance over std.
If you research independent filter tests; there is a 0.90% pressure drop difference between the highest flowing filter and the std paper filter. That means there is very little flow difference between them all.
