Looking for aftermarket filter element for the R56 JCW air box, anyone know of any products other then stock?

Thanks

I ordered the ITG from Minspeed www.minspeed.net just arrived today.
I'm going to install it and see what the difference in sound or performance is, if any.

Ok, ITG Air filter installed, everything fit good and was easy to install
It may be my imagination, but the car feels a little quicker above the 4.5K range. I did rotate my tires too, so maybe that's what I'm feeling
The factory BOV is also a little more noticeable, but not by much.

All in all I think it was worth the money, but don't expect any huge gains in performance. The main reason I went with this mod was to be able to service the filter myself, plus it was less expensive then the factory JCW paper element.

Is the stock paper filter seriously 182 bucks? What am I missing here, my last car took a 20 dollar filter.
