Three layer foam. They are easy to clean. Have just them in a couple of Scoobs

Apparantly the hks doesnt flow very well, asked this very question to bob before mapping, needless to say there is a k&n panel in mine now

The standard air box with a panel filter is the best option up to 350bhp, an induction kit below this will probably cost you power, although they do sound nice

I do not believe that HKS flow worst than the K&N unless someone can actually prove it..

As I am looking to replace my panel filter, came across this site thought I post it.

Why not be different and fit a Cosworth filter. Fitted one to my old man's wrx and it appears just as good as the K&N I had fitted in mine.

I think there was a test done somewhere between all the panel filters and genuine STI came out top a think, but there was not much in it and was a bit more expensive.
Put a K&N on mine and can't fault it.
