Cheapest I have seen was £55, read some comparisons on Green and Sti, they say the filtration is better on the Sti and power (albeit 2-5 Bhp) is better from the Green.

I suppose it depends what you feel you want it for, I have the PPP on mine and it just seems a little tight, compared to my old MY98 which I ran until 170000 which actually seems faster more responsive than my MY01 PPP, so I want mine to breath a little more easy.

Personally I went for a K&N as recommended by the mapper at the time, he said K&N/Green nothing between them really. Preferable to the STi simply because they wont need changing as a service item.

Green or K&N OK, just don't overall (the MAF!) otherwise the STi is a good safe option.

Looks like an STi for mine (do not want anything to mess with the MAF)
