Replacement panel filter

[markarse]

OK:

Green
K&N
Pipercross
BMC

Anyone got any input as to the relative merits of each?

Green and K&N seem to be around £40-£50 delivered, BMC just over £40 & Pipercross just over £30.

I appreciate that you shouldn't scrimp on filtration media, but is it worth the extra £15-20 for a Green or a K&N?

Edit: added BMC

i have a pipercross, granted its not a replacement filter but none the less it does work obviously, but if you leave mine a year you can see where some dirt has come through the filter onto the base plate and onto the components of the carb.
not too much of a problem just thought id mention it

To be honest, there's a debate over whether a using an 'uprated' panel filter actually improves anything or not....

In my book, a replacement filter can be cleaned an reused many times, so will pay itself back in a couple of years anyway!!

I’ve got a pipercross filter, that and a slight airbox mod I would say my 8v now is more eager to rev. If the green and K&N is worth £10 more, I’d probably say not.

and the pipercross needs very little maintenance, and then when you do need to give it attention just wash it

running a pipercross pannel in mine, no problems, take it out and clean it every so often.

(sorry hijack: ibiza 95 hows the transofrmation going??)

You will find that the mojority of them are the same to maintain.
Green Cotton is the one we sell as they dont seem to be as oily than others.

got the kit in primer at the minute waiting to find a decent bodyshop but i want to make sure theyre good.
just fitting a mk3 20vt exhaust on as wqe speek but poor light has stopped play. put my buckets in and all is fine and dandy.
made a guide on putting the buckets in too... which is nice and took me fooking ages to do!

oh... and you might need to empty your pm's as i tried to pm you bout a month ago and it said it was full and i couldnt do it.
