im just debating whether to put a k and n or green one on but bit skint.
just had the old one off and it is pretty dirty .

Having an air filter is always a trade off between safe filtering v's free flowing properties...
any dirt in the filter will effect performance/fuel economy to a degree
Yes the Cosworth panels are throw away units, not oiled like the K and N's
I run a cosworth panel an it's great (half the depth of the OEM unit)

You can get a slight change of engine note, my STI panel filter seems to give more of a roar higher up the rev range now but costs a little more than the cosworth one

Not necessarily
STI filter's are an aftermarket panel bought from STI Japan and are not standard equipment for UK cars. They're not cheap either, The last one I purchased was £60 back in 2004 for my then newage STI.
You can tell by looking at it, the STI one will be red/pink in colour and maybe have STI written on them...they also have a s/steel mesh covering iirc?
