Jamesy Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 whats the best upgrade for my air filter? i always thought an induction kit but get the feeling people on here think a panel filter is best? if so....should i go for the TRD one? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 cheers! do you think a new panel filter will help on mpg a bit too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 cheers! do you think a new panel filter will help on mpg a bit too?? No, hardly noticable. A new 02 sensor will do that. PM Nic he will be able to get you one a lot cheaper than buying over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_blackman Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I noticed an improvement but then my old oem filter was black when I serviced my car when i 1st got it! Also helped with a few extra mpg too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markrzs Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I've just replaced my panel HKS filter with an oem filter. OEM all the way !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Waste of money these aftermarket ones. The OEM is a few quid and has excellent filtration. The replacement K&N costs something like £70 and may release a couple of BHP (though it's never been proven). Your money is far better spent elsewhere if you want to improve the engine power.
