all pretty much the same
hurricane is good VFM and middle of the price bracket
ITG one of the more expensive
then some of the K&N and other clones at the lower end
most will be within a bhp or two of each other ..in other words, its neglibible that you could tell a difference on your bum dyno
..mainly about noise...and letting high power engines breathe better ....but usually by the time you need an induction kit on a K series, you are getting to the point where you need to fit direct to head throttle bodies and their filter
so in other words - fit one if you want it to sound more meaty, but dont expect performance gains....

Ive got a K&N 57i. It is a noisey filter but i like the noise. Some think its chavvy but thats their choice. Its a 4 pot rover so there isnt much you can do to be honest!
Its not enclosed, so you do hear that its sucking in hot air and is therefore detrimental to performance. Mines knocking out north of 160bhp (with a little more than just a filter), so it breaths well enough. I think once youre moving there is plenty of air movement round the engine anyway. The elbow on the filter shoves the cone right down in the direct line of the air intake anyway!
Cheaper than the Hurricane, I think it sounds better and I dont imagine the Hurricane will give you any performance advantage that you would notice!

Hurricane.Just make sure you clean and oil it regularly though (6 months - maybe 12 for low use). I've heard of instances of Hurricane's mesh corroding (there are some horrible pics on SELOC).
