i got a pipercross panel in my T5...... theyre all pretty similar, no noticable difference in performance but it made induction sound nicer..

& im sure they let more air through than the paper filters... so im happy!!:smile:

Ditch the panel filter and the top half of the airbox and get a big cone...

You only get heat soak when the car is stationary, once on the move its fine.

Depends if you like noise, if not you may as well save the money and go for a panel filter, theres no difference in performance.
