Standard newage sti air filters , are they fine to keep or is a replacement such as green, k&n, etc any better?

You won't notice any difference and may be gain 2-3bhp once mapped. Unless you are plus 400bhp, I'd spend £40 on 10 standard filters and change them every 5000 miles or so.

I second that.

Depends on your future plans.

Where can you get 10 for £40?

Sorry, £38.40



I'd much rather fit a new one of these every six months than a filter which has service intervals of 50k!

once you have bought a k+n filter though,you can just pop it out whenever you like.clean it and pop it back in and it will cost you nothing.so in the long run depending on how long you keep the car it could be cheaper buying a k+n filter.

Do K&N still have a 1,000,000 mile guarantee?

If you have got time to do that, I envy you! I had a green panel filter in my old Scooby and I had to wait over night for the new oil that I applied to the filter to dry. I didn't want to risk contaminating the maf sensor.
Now I can change the filter in under a minute and I know that it is good for 5k miles or so.

These day, I service my car and then carry on with my life. Sod all that that waiting around.
