Hi All,

Am looking to fit a new panel filter to my 05 wrx, would it be better to get a JR Filters - High Performance Panel Filter or the Green Filter.?

Green cotton panel filter came out tops in the tests carried out by Scoobymag (sadly now defunct)

I've used the Green , without problems , in both my '99 wagon and my '00 saloon (before I fitted my APS CAK)

All Right!!!! Time to show my ignorance again. I usually read stuff and eventaully find out about them through posts, but as yet I cannot work out what a panel filter is! Please tell me what it is, what it does, what the benefits are and if I should get one. [:$]

John a panel filter is a filter that stops the panels. I'm sure you're aware that panels are a danger to cars?

lol

But serious a "Panel filter" is a filter that fits into the standard air box. By fitting a "performance" filter you can in theory get a small increase in power. I've bought an STI one recently but not fitted it yet. The car has a paper filter as standard which is actually quite decent according to some tests.

LOL! Thanks for that! I just read on another post of someone getting one from Scoobyparts.com, I might have a wee look. Now I have my 3rd de cat another little bit from the filter can't hurt!
