Default Replacement Panel Air Filter

If you were to buy one...

Which one would you buy?

No cold air intake advise please.
APS 65mm and Typhoon are out of budget...

honestly i doubt any of them will make a difference, just change yours with a wix from any autoparts store.... most high performance drop-ins do very little, save your money IMOP.

I know a few guys here and on Nabisco like the green filter, that is the one I was looking at. Part #2019 for the STI, I've seen them for around $55 if you look around the net.

I know they have little to no gains.
But my STi is coming to 30K maintenance and I am thinking of at least upgrading to a slightly better filter.

Or probably just buy the OEM replacement for cheap and be done w/ it..

I would do the STi panel filter, but at $60 and not being washable, makes it for an expensive piece... Do the K&N...

atc5, nobody does intakes for making huge gains, at least on our cars... it's more for the 're-usability' factor, at least for me ...

What's the Sti upgraded filter?
Never heard of it....

I'm going to probably end up going with the K&N myself
