go for the green filter mate, the ITG isn't a well regarded filter on here. the oil on it can get sucked thru onto the MAF sensor and bugger it (not good)

i used an ITG for a couple of years and the horror stories of blown engines made me go for the Green filter.

I use the Green filter as well. As recommended by the lads at TSL who are well into advising against oil filled Induction kits etc. Go for the Green filter...

panel filter is the air filter, direct replacement using standard airbox. as opposed to induction kit which replaces the airbox with cone shaped filter.

I've got a green panel filter (out of my STI 03) 5000 miles, complete with new (never used) cleaning/oiling kit)

£40 and it's yours

(Now got the STI filter from Japan)

I was recommended to use ans STI panel filter from quite a few sources including Roger Clarkes so I went with that one and it seems to run fine. I've got a MY99 by the way.
