I'm not sure I agree with that but each to their own.
If a panel filter allows more air flow than stock air filter surely that can only be a positive thing?

Any proof of that?
ArildStavrum:
Course I dont have proof my friend, do you?
note. I assume you already knew i wouldnt have proof.
Do you have proof a panel filter doesnt let the engine 'breath' better than a stock air filter?
note. i have no clue of the answer.
I was going by the what the mechanic I use told me.

How is a panel filter going to let more air in!!!maybe because of the material it's made from but tbh I wouldn't waste money on buying one..it's either get the whole thing or don't bother..just my opinion mate
ArildStavrum:
haha! you are probably right! i just went on the say so of the mechanic!
It does sound better!! as i was getting work done there he gave me one for free (out of his mk5 gti) as he has gone stage 3 with full CAI.
anyway, looks like I will be getting one myself now!!
:happy2:

I know of someone who ran on a dyno without one and then followed this up with a run with a panel filter. Same readings give or take 1 bhp.
If you really want to know log your MAF using VCDS before and after fitting a panel filter, personally I wouldn't bother.
Just fit a brand new OEM Ed30 filter. :wink:
