Default what air filter should i get?

not had my scooby long and it came with this air filter



is this any good? looks like a bad idea as the intake hose at the side does not feed into it so there is no cool air getting in, am i better off getting hold of an o/e airbox and panel filter or maybe a cone?

any advise please?
cheers
neill.

Depends what you want your car for really OE one is good for 350 or so with a decent panel filter, induction kit would need a remap of the ECU to be safe

that arc one's are bad ***...
if i was you i'd just leave it,and fitting a i/k will be the same,unless you box it of.
as they just sit there near the wing (uncovered)
and as said before you would need a re-map...
so just keep what you got,as it is a upgrade to standard box...

keep it even though there is no cool air getting to it?, i am not intending on going much over 300 bhp (cant afford to anyway).
