Which panel filter do people have fitted?

Which is the best "flowing"?

And is there any to avoid???

Cheers-jim

 

Green, K&N or STi avoid any that is very heavily oiled or covered in gunk eg ITG, Ramair

 

I have a JR which has been very good

 

I'm on K&N - seems fine

 

k&n works fine

Green coton

 

K&N

STi panel filter, 12bhp and 15lbs of torque increase when changed from the factory item (though it was designed for my car )

ive had 2 itg's and not had a problem

 

The Sti panel filters seem to be prefered than any other panel filter, where can I get hold of sti filter for my 1994 import wrx?

 

There was an itg panel fitted to my car when I bought it. I went back to the OEM filter cause I was so un-impressed with the amount of 'gunk' in the filter to 'catch' dust/dirt etc. A bit like a sludge compound. I think it may even be the cause of a problem I have. I've now fitted a stainless steel cone filter. Works well, sounds the dogs.

 

I've heard bad things about steel mesh filters. Their filtration abilities aren't as good as cotton/paper filters and so might let more dust/dirt into the engine

 

Had mine serviced at TEG - they recommended and fitted a Pipercross panel filter £38 + VAT...
