Apexi is good, and you can get adpators to fit it if needed, unfortunately hard to get hold of, and expensive. Don't get foam - my last ITG foam filter collapsed resulting in no boost at all. I currently run a £30 Chinese cone filter - works fine.

Yep - still have it, can't bring myself to part with it - just too much fun as a weekend car.
I really dont buy into the heatsoak idea with filters - they pull a lot of air from all over the place on a turbo when boosting hard, not just the warm air in the engine bay, and if you have a decent intercooler it's hardly going to matter if it's a degree or so higher. on the RX it sits behind the intercooler and rad, and right next to the engine - only place for it, and works fine.
SIP makes a little difference, sounds like the intake is not in your glove box anymore on a coupe, biggest downside is the filter is right down low - gets crud and water from puddles all over it unless you rig up a decent shield for it.

No worries - still miss the coupe. There's a Scotts Green 20v NA that parks opposite my house now, needs some work done on it but makes me feel nostalgic daily!

Negun are pretty good - but you are importing... not ideal.
Ram air have good reputation, but I will never use a foam filter again after having one collapse on me, literally resulting in zero boost.

fair enough - if you loose boost / power just be sure to check the filter is not loosing shape or collapsing in on itself.

My ITG foam filter was fine for years, then literally collapsed in on itself and resulted in zero boost.
