    I recently fitted a K&N panel filter and the increase in my economy is huge. I used to get 26mpg on a long run and now 32mpg (when not speeding haha). If the flow is that much better i assume there must be a power gain too, K&N claim 3%. (It sounds really cool too)

    I got mine from Europerformance parts for £35ish, it took them a while to get me the correct one though (33-2768).

      I've heard bad things about the K&N panels eventually mucking up the fine wire in the MAF sensor due to them being pre-oiled. I use a Pipercross panel and so far thats been fine and has done around 9-10k with no bother.

        Kn filters may do that,but if you give them a good wash to begin with,and reoil it yourself it will be fine initially.

        after that you can just take care of cleaning it and not putting too much oil in it.

        i have mine for quite some time now and havent had any issues
