As stated above.

I want to try and get a decent Panel Filter for my car.
Recommendations and website address would be appreciated.

The filter is for a MY02 WRX.

I've heard the STI filters are excellent, but are they paper or material and are there any that perform better than these ?

K&N

Think its either STI or Green, heard that K&N use a tad too much oil, don't want to take the risk of MAF problems.

 

Where did you here K&N use too much oil...? I ran one for 12 months without any problems whatsoever. To be honest, I doubt you'll notice any difference between any of the ones mentioned by richiewong...

 

Yep ran a K&N no probs, went to a Blitz SUS and killed 2 MAF's back to a K&N and again no probs

 

I run K&N no problems

 

MAF died with K&N here,
switched to green, no hassles

 

ran OE paper filter for 5 yrs and my MAF still died. Other than induction kits, I've yet to see some solid evidence that any of the panel filters have directly killed a MAF.

I'm now running an STI filter with my new MAF.

Personally, I can't tell any difference.

I've got the STI one on my 01 WRX - can't feel any difference

 

itg killed my maf, not supprising really with the amount of oil on it.
i've been running a green since TSL had there first box full delivered, no problems to report so far.

I think the ITG is the only one that people can really claim MAF failure because of the physical deposits left on the sensor.

I douby whether the K&N would cause it and it would be difficult to prove. Maf's can and will fail on a standard filter, just because they are inherently crap

You wont go wrong with the STi, K&N or Green panel...

The JR performance panel from Scoobyworld is very good. Decent company with very good service.

Quantify "very good"

Ive heard JR are supposed to be ok. What micron size, pressure drop, flowrate? Oiled or dry?
