ANYONE TELL ME IF GREEN AIR FILTERS ARE ANY GOOD? NOW THAT THE WARRANTY IS UP I WILL SERVICE MY FABIA VRS MYSELF. DONT WORRY I AM FULLY QUALIFIED ENGINEER!!!! SO I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING BUT CANT FIND MUCH INFO ON THEM. HERE ABOUT PEOPLE USING THEM BUT WHY?:confused:

Compared to a clean paper air filter, you won't notice any performance gains from it, but it will increase the induction roar a little bit. My main motivation for changing to one was that with the miles I do, it would work out cheaper to have a washable filter than replacing the paper one every 10k miles.

Alternatives to Green are K&N and Pipercross...

I noticed a performance gain with mine?!

While im sure it added next to nothing power wise the response over 4k was better

Judging by what was posted in the other section of the forum I would say go pipercross....

Mine's got a green filter in with stock box. Good enough for 260bhp with the right supporting mods. Having said that I'm considering going BMC CDA route as it would be a wider pipe, and less bending for the air to do.

My green filter has now done at least 60k, so has saved me some good money on stock filters.

Vote for pipercross here! i have one and it seems to breath a bit better.

Although a couple of people have had issues with those too. Everything's a gamble - I've never had a problem with Green or K&N

Awsome sarah uses a pipercross and says they r very good as u dont need to oil them, just take em out and rinse them through, its what il be getting wen my filters had it!

Mmmm

I have had Pipercross on mine for a while

I do VERY high mileage

I have done 60k miles in mine and I have only had the car for 17 months

The majority of which have had the Pipercross filter on

I have made Pipercross aware that a couple of issues arouse and they have taken my filter away to be checked over

Which means my fuel economy has gone down

But then its the things I do for you guys

I must admit when I had the filter fitted I instantly got better fuel economy by approx 4mpg

Then there was a tad more noise , but the main bit was the throttle response

Felt so much more responsive

Sarah

Pipercross have taken your filter away? is this to do with fitting issues?

Hi

Yes I made them aware that there was an issue on here , so they took mine away to check over

I will be in touch and let you know what they come back with if anything

Sarah

Jetex is snug as a bug in a rug!

I fancy one of these when you clear up the issues with them.
