Ahhhh you never said you were after an upgrade  :laugh:

Search function is your friend. EVOMS or ITG Maxogen are the best for noise and performance. Hit YouTube for videos of the noise  :happy2:

I ran a K&N panel and it was great. Slight increase in performance and throttle response

I used to use an ITG panel filter in the past and felt something extra vs the oem paper one.
Without traction power is nothing!

I ran a paper filter at stage 2+ and it ran perfectly fine. Tried performance filters and there was no perceivable difference. Just change your cilter every 10k and you will be fine.
On my current car I have tried K&N and Pipercross and I still cant feel any difference in performance over std.
If you research independent filter tests; there is a 0.90% pressure drop difference between the highest flowing filter and the std paper filter. That means there is very little flow difference between them all.
