hiya guys just wondering which is the best panel filter to get am running green cotton open cone in engine bay but am looking at putting standard air box back on wondering which is the best to go for k&n itg green cotton pipercross as had enough of the whoosh now so am getting rid have rtech stage 1 211 bhp on rollers so dont really wanna lose any power is mk1 octy vrs cone is going on fleabay when i decide which panel filter is best thanks guys appreciate the help

Buy a cheap eBay cold air take and put it on the end of that? Keeps the power and noise but also gets cooler intake so maybe more power?

I recently replaced my std filter with a K&N panel filter, easy fit, and a slight notice in power gain and mpg's My car is running completely std apart from the filter and always on V Power

Regards

Just run the fully standard airbox with standard air filter. There's nothing wrong with it and it's not a restriction in the system. The standard filters are also cheap and easy to replace once a year. I used to run a K&N but got fed up of having to clean it, then dry it and re-oil the damn thing. All for no gains and extra stress.

i have a pipercross. makes no difference to performance or economy. you can buy it if u like

Anybody saying that changing the air filter alone without doing anything else, has managed to somehow increase either their power or economy, is either blinkered, or had a $h!tty blocked filter.

I've currently got a pipercross fitted. It didn't do anything (as was expected), and should be treated as disposable. I only fitted it, as I managed to get it cheaper than an OEM filter, but I will be using the OEM panels in the future.

lol have the induction pipe with a k&n, don't care if its lost me power the noise is soo nice lol

Chances are you might see improvement with std or panel filter over the open cone as we all know those get heat soak which can zap performance.

NO-ONE currently has shown proof that aftermarket filters improve performance over the OE one
