What does everyone think works better?
My car has a KN but I'm considering fitting the standard filter, has anyone done this, is there any noticable difference?

Imo the k&n will work well with a good air feed as its gettin cooler now its near winter. Otherwise a standard box would be best. Summer was a killer for me with my piperx, but when it cooled down in the evenings it was noticabley quicker.

I ditched the K&N for a standard box and ITG panel filter. It's good.

dunno about valvers, but on the Willy 2 live swapped mine for me a couple of winters ago on an icy day and it was much better with the airbox... now this could be down to the fact the airbox he gave me had a K&N panel filter and not the paper one, but tbh I think the airbox is a better design.

only advantage of having an open IK like a K&N is so you can give out those classic Subaru owner excuses for being smoked. "yeah, wait til winter mate when me turbo can get more cold air..." :wink: :lol:
