Default Advice - Oil & Air Filter

Chaps, just looking for your advice on what Oil & Air Filter and where you'd buy them from, would you buy this?

http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog...oducts_id=1550

and this?

http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog...oducts_id=3330

Or something different from a different supplier?

Car in question is an RB320.

Thanks for any replies you guys can give

K&n filters are ok as a simple upgrade but i'm not sure if you'll notice a great deal of difference in power - just a little increase in induction noise. Black oil filters seem to be the preferred choice if you can get hold of them and this seems a reasonable price for one. There has been some bad press on the blue version of this filter but never had any issues myself and i use 2 or 3 a year.

Cheers PODWRX2, not looking for any power gains just after a good air filter, had a Green filter in my WRX and just thought I'd ask to see if anyone had any other ideas and where to purchase from.

Thanks for the reply fella

To be honest,if you are not looking for power gains, then just stick to a basic, oem filter. Crossland, Bosch etc all make there own air filters and can be had from euro car parts for £5 each.

Thanks for the replies guys. Decided in the end to buy a Green panel filter, genuine Subaru black oil filter and Titan Pro S oil.

Cheers again for the replies
