Default Best panel filter for this application.

HI all

I've had a dig with the search function but been unsuccessful finding what i am looking for.

I have a 02 bug eye and have need to get a panel filter as i think when i've bought car its still on the original.

My question is predictable in that i'm wondering which are best.

The car only has a cat back at the moment, the rest of the engine is virgin standard. Plans will be sti intercooler, decat and a remap.

What would you recommend?

I've seen cosworth ones floating around, the normal K and N and i'm of the mindset they will all be nigh on identical with minimal gains in my cars current state.

Any help appreciated.

Thanking y'all.

Be good to know as I am in the same situation - I was looking at the K&N as can clean and reuse whether most of the others are use once

aftermarket panel filters are all pretty much the same. you won't really see much of a gain, and none really stand out as being better than the others.

I have a K&N one - seems to do the job...

TBH, there's little real world difference between any of them (Green, K&N, Cosworth, etc)... Pro-R (Subaru's performance parts range) also do a foam panel filter.
