best air/pannel filter

[Jamie.]

so what do u guys recons best then? standard replacement or i/k. ive heard ppl say that panel is best but surely u do get some benefit from an i/k rather than just a panel filter

[Justin..]

ITG cheap panel filter around £25

[Jamie.]

what about vipers etc.... no gains to be made from them?

ohh link to that itg filter, where i can get it cheap.....

I have heard that you dont get much gain from a panel filter, main benifit is you dont have to change them as often and they can be cleaned.
I wouldnt go with a IK as i noticed the heat loss on my 1.2 so on a F7 engine you would loose alot.

The Viper's a highly efficient way of parting idiots from money. Halfords do a carbon BMC/Viper clone for £70. None of 'em make any real difference though.

arnt green panel filters ment 2 b gd?

[richy]

jamie id stick with a panel filter mate, u get sod all (if any) gain from ind kits and they cost a bomb!

[Plattsy]

90% of people run panel filters, i run a ITG.
i tried a pipercros viper ik from ktec and it killed bottom end power. it was still suffering from the engine heat.
When you think about it a viper is just a posh airbox. its a box with a filter inside and a pipe supplying the air...exactly the same as an airbox apart from the noise it makes...

[Justin..]

i just took the feed pipe off my box. loadsa soundage. not much loss on performance either

[BigBoreBri]

I had a green but found it would never seat right in the air box, you ended up squshing it in there more than anything!

ITG will be my next route...
