Best panel filter for the B7?

Post by RSKiwi » Mon Mar 26, 2012 11:36 am

In the quest for the ideal setup I am going to put my standard airbox back in the car, remove the flap and put a highflow panel filter in it.

So which brand/style is the best?! I usually go with K&N but I understand MRC use their own which may be a BMC (???) and as they will be dialling my standard airbox back in I was just going to run with that but I am incredibly bored at work therefore I am keen to hear any opinions :thumb:

I thought MRC used ITG filters ?
I've got the BMC filter which Virdee supplied, and am happy with that. Seems very well made and snug fit around the perimeter.

Cheers lads, BMC going for the win here. Good to know they fit well too.

Anyone else!

BMC x2. You can have both of mine for a decent price as I am going the other way in a couple of weeks to GruppeM. They are designed to be cleaned and re-oiled; I just bought two so I could swap a clean for dirty one each time rather than take out, clean, oil and then replace.
