Default Advice/Information

Could anyone explain the difference between a "free flowing panel filter" and having a "green cotton panel filter" fitted.

Thanks

again, they are just labels.
The greens have been proven, as have K&N etc
avoid the foam jobs, best filter for a service is the standard item.

no problem.
Buy a standard fit subaru item and you'll be laughing.

Dont buy the (allegedly) uprated sti filter, its disposable and actually saps power
