Recommend me a Panel Filter!!
« on: August 07, 2012, 11:25:03 am »
Have removed the ITG Maxogen and am going back to a Panel Filter as my car is only Stage 1 and there was no noticeable difference. Was going for an ITG Panel Filter one but at £60 is there any real difference from a Pipercross or even an OEM one which will be changed every year? I know there loads of theads, just wanted to ask.

Definitely felt a bit perkier  :happy2:

Best £15 I have spent on performance mods  :grin:

K&N panel FTW. Nich at R-Tech mentioned there was a bit more air flow when he mapped it.  :surprised:
