K&N Filter
I have a standard 55 WRX.
is it worth getting a K&N filter for it- will i notice any benefit from it, if so what type? green or red?
or there any other filters that are better?
what kind of HP increase will i get?

Green filters are actually made by the company Green
Both filters are pretty good and only lightly oiled so should have no MAF issues unlike MY99/00 cars.
Difference will probably not be noticable but should help the engine breath a bit better and the filtration maybe better then standard.
Also look into STi panel filters, lots of people fit them tem to standard boxes as well

i thought K&N made red or green ones, LOL
unrelated question-> i'm still running in, but my oil temp never goes much above the 1/4 temp line (ie JUST inside the normal range)-> is that normal??
other cars i've had (never a new one before) have been pretty much bang on the middle line after they've warmed up
will this change after i have the 1000 mile service + proper oil put in?

I had the STI one before switching to Green, personally I'd just change to another filter when the OE one needs replacing.. & spend the £38 on fuel now, LOL..
