damadom Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hey all going to buy a panel filter and was just wanting to know which one is best. As the price can differ about 20-30 pounds with k&n being the most expensive. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I know K&N are 'the world's finest', but there's got to be a point where a paper filter is as good as it will get? Stand to be corrected on that tech though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damadom Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 thats what i was thinking as my car is only an n/a seems daft spending alot of money and getting a kit that will just suck cold air in anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 There will be absolutely no performance gain over the stock type paper element filter. There may well be poorer filtration though, leading to excess engine wear. HKS elements seem particularly poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 The difference in power between the HKS and the other will be negligible. I'd use a filter with a paper element for best filtration ie. stock, TRD or K&N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 As above, stick with a stock filter, you'll gain nothing spending on an after market one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
