seano Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I have an sti fillter fitted to my sti8 and i was wondering is the green panel fillter one better than the one i have. Are the group N green panel fillters even better ?Where is the best place to buy one.Thanks
gus the bus Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Seano, TSL do the Group N Green filters. here you go! But buy through their ebay shop as the are a few quid cheaper http://www.tsl-motorsport.co.uk/newsite/pr...7&detail=63 Gus
STi_Bandit Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 wasnt, oobster giving away a green filter for free? Bandit
seano Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 Does these being oiled cause any probs with the maf sensor, thanks for the help
STi_Bandit Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Ive had mine in my Sti8 for over a year now no problems here Bandit
seano Posted March 1, 2007 Author Posted March 1, 2007 Thanks, i will get one of these orderd asap. Also got a set of NGK plugs to put in at the weekend before i go and see A/Forrest[]
fai17 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 The sti filter are really good so no need waste money there. Otherwise i'd go for a CAI(cold air induction)
seano Posted March 3, 2007 Author Posted March 3, 2007 The sti one is a bit dirty so it gives me an excuse to buy a new one. Got the green group A one from Drivers in glasgow for a good price.
colzo Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 It was my understanding the STI filter was more suited to the JDM models. Could be wrong though.
dipsy Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I have green panel filter in a 05 Jdm sti .I can hear the standard dumpvalve more .I can hear it with the standard subaru panel filter
seano Posted March 3, 2007 Author Posted March 3, 2007 Fitted the airfillter today even thought the sti one looked new it was full of crap, so im glad i gor the green one[Y] I also fitted the new plugs to day done the o/s with the airbox out and done the n/s ones from under the car.Looks worse than it is to do them,Thats about it, now waiting for the 14th to go up and see A/Forrest []

harvey_smith Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I did a test on four pannel filters, HKS Green foam, O/E, K+N, and STi. The difference between best in terms of power, (HKS) and worst, STi was only 2 bhp. The results were not what was expected so they were repeated the following day with exactly the same outcome. The O/E and STi are disposable. In subsequent tests I found the filtration from the HKS was not very good and it would allow through quite big particles compared to the other three. I have now settled on K+N oiled pannel as it is reusable with good filtration. This talk about K+N oiled doing in MAF Sensors is just another piece of disinformation floating about the Scooby community. Follow the instructions for cleaning and oiling and everything will be OK. The filter comes preoiled and ready to use so you do not need to think about cleaning it for 10-15 K miles anyway. I have a complete, new CAK with silicon joiner, clamps and K+N filter for New Age if anybody is looking for a CAK.
