Air filter

[1260pete]

Can anyone recommend a decent performance air filter for the t5 me7 engine please? and nothing that costs £200 as they are no better than £30 ones,,, maybe something like a green or ramair?

can of worms...

My opinion...

A cheap, big twin cone air filter for under 20 quid from fleabay, or a performance panel filter. Depending on if you want noise or not.

yeah sorry i want a bit of noise but don't like them cheap ones too much just looking at freen ones which are not bad at about 40 quid

fair enough, just make sure it's a big one - there'll be less resistance, more noise and a better performance increase (not that there's much)

I've recently fit a Pipercross panel filter to my 850 as part of a pre-drag service before the last Shakey meet, but I have not noticed any real noise increase. Power could be up a bit, as the quarter times have dropped a little or the driver is getting better at getting down the strip......???? The product seems to be well made and good quality so not a bad buy will just have to see how good it is after its been cleaned a few times.

K&N Panel in mine.

Don't believe all the hype re the oil messing up the MAF. I have K&N in pretty much every performance car I have owned and never had a problem.

I avoid cheap cheap filters too due to the possibility of them not filtering as well and also, breaking up over time and disappearing into the turbo!

K&n panel filter in mine... gives a slight noise increase, and you can just about here the recirc valve
