Zen are doing the Subaru "Cosworth Performance Air Filter" for £35. Fitted one to my old mans WRX and they seem pretty good, equal to K&N etc.

The STi panel filter is about the worst panel filter you can get for a scoob.you are much better off getting a Green cotton panel or a K&N panel filter

in back to back filtration tests the STI one was worse than the standard OE one

Do you have a link ?, the reason i went for the STI filter was that i was under the impression whilst it didn't flow as much as the others, it offered better filtration, I would be happy to change to a cheaper better flowing/filtering alternative though

Yet it was better than both the green and K&N (better filtration) and gave excellent results that exceeded both of the above
The only down side to the STI filter is that its a service item and as such is replaced every 2 years/20k miles.
