yes.
honestly, its like banging your head against a wall
this is a good link though

shows filter material is much of a muchness when it comes to flow and that oem boxes are actually quite clever
other independent tests have shown foam filters to filter particularly good, so thats what i went with
i suppose a cone filter and its marketing hype is hard to resist when youre 16 lol

Didn't K&N take Dangerous's ST220 like 5 years ago, whack a K&N on it and dyno before and after? It made more power but he took it off because of the insurance hike... or something
I've always regarded Miltek as being quality but a few people on here have said ST220+Miltek=less power.
noooooo proof isnt enough for these guys, standard is always better!
well if you think about it, the airbox specifically designed and tested for that specific application is pretty likely to be good or the designers wouldn't have jobs, whereas a generic cone filter which comes in something like 3 sizes is not.
I was the same when I was naive, but at least I did it properly by avoiding products stocked by halfords and going for the bmc cda which is proven to actually be quite good
Only get uprated panel filters these days though, since I've seen the light

I don't call k&n taking a car and putting their product on it then themselves publishing the results proof...I call that marketing.

Sorry for lifting this thread, but I noticed this:

Surely that filter cannot give that much of an increase?!

its a filter and remap. Notice this bit : "We loaded our finished Race 97 Induction tune"
Remap and filter giving 30bhp isnt rocket science. Especially as solid has pretty much this setup, even has the same dreamscience unit i think ? and gets roughly the same bhp.

oh god no...
... It can, a properly setup CAIS system will compaired to a standard ford airbox. But just dont tell Token or Matt that

Whos panel filters do you use? IIRC you had something with the VAG 1.6 125bhp engine?

my old polo had that engine, had a BMC CDA on that, my current polo is the 1.8T and I use the PD160 intake and a BMC panel filter on that

Did you not think the CDA was worth the cash then?
Aye what this man said, i'm running nigh on same setup, well plus exhaust, and got 248hp at the recent RR.
it was on the last car, if nothing else it sounded great, on a turbo CAI isn't worth the money though, since the air intake temps mean sweet FA, that's the intercoolers job
the stock airbox with uprated intake is proven to give the best airflow in that application

Did it sound chavvy? I may get one, (same engine) but i havnt heard one in the flesh.
