Default Panel filter or Induction kit?

Evening all I currently have a K&N Induction kit fitted to my car along with some other choice mods but recently I have heard that I might be losing power due to the kit sucking in hot air and not cold is this correct?If so what panel filter do you suggest is best and will I need a re-map once changed or do I stick with what I have

Default ..

if your not using a front mount intercooler then go for a good non oiled panel filter like a green or sti one...or if you want to keep the induction kit, relocate it in the drivers side inner wing so it doesnt suck in hot air

Why not try a cold air feed, or a heat shield. Could do either for less than a new panel filter.
