a bit of advice please chaps, im after a new panel filter for my03 sti any suggestions please

 

Scoobyparts Ltd GREEN PERFORMANCE PANEL FILTER

 

This is the one I have.

TSL MOTORSPORT

 

Green cotton, K&N, Simota all will be very similiar

 

thanks very much :-)

 

As bodski says there all pretty good. Don't think you would feel any difference between any of them.

 

The STi panel filter if I remember rightly made some difference

 

New age or classic standard air box filters by Cosworth.
Synthetic polyester base, single layer that flows 10% better than OE.
No oiling required.
£35 delivered UK mainland. 01752 345880 for fast supply

 

And it's a lovely shade of blue!

 

Alan, do these have to be changed as the OE filter or are they cleanable

 

Interesting question and I'm glad you asked it.
From what I've seen, every **** up in the world is perpetrated when "cleaning" "re-useable" air filters, from carelessly using petrol, to utilising some other cleansing product which isn't intended for the purpose, (Mr Muscle) to wildly over oiling them, to causing breaches of health and safety guidelines by the criminal use of high pressure air lines.
I'd just fit one, and when I think it's dirty, I'd fit another one.

 

surly you wouldnt oil a filter on a car using a MAF sensor? thats like shooting yourself in the foot isnt it?

 

Good answer
At that price you could change as specked I guess. Not a lot of money compared to most things in the world of Subaru mods

 

I have used this type of panel filter for years. TSL green filter x2, K&N filter x1, and i NEVER bloody clean em. FFS, you spend thousands in your cars, then moan about replacing an air filter FFS! Buy a new one! LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

 

Why throw them away there ment to be reused. I have a K&N and I clean and lightly oil it at every service. Never had a problem with maf.

 

I do.
There has been loads of research and testing for this and never has there been any evidence that lightly oiling has caused faults on mafs.

 

Had an STi panel filter, now got a Green Cotton panel filter.

Both similar I think, test results in mags and online seem to think the Green is better than the STi.

Although I've also read that the standard Subaru one isn't bad!

 

Very likely! that's why I don't like the idea of customers doing their own.
