| Re: Green Air Filters Compared to a clean paper air filter, you won't notice any performance gains from it, but it will increase the induction roar a little bit. My main motivation for changing to one was that with the miles I do, it would work out cheaper to have a washable filter than replacing the paper one every 10k miles. Alternatives to Green are K&N and Pipercross... Chris

| Re: Green Air Filters Mine's got a green filter in with stock box. Good enough for 260bhp with the right supporting mods.  Having said that I'm considering going BMC CDA route as it would be a wider pipe, and less bending for the air to do.My green filter has now done at least 60k, so has saved me some good money on stock filters.

| Re: Green Air Filters Mmmm I have had Pipercross on mine for a while I do VERY high mileage I have done 60k miles in mine and I have only had the car for 17 months The majority of which have had the Pipercross filter on I have made Pipercross aware that a couple of issues arouse and they have taken my filter away to be checked over Which means my fuel economy has gone down  But then its the things I do for you guys I must admit when I had the filter fitted I instantly got better fuel economy by approx 4mpg Then there was a tad more noise , but the main bit was the throttle response Felt so much more responsive  Sarah |
