I have a classic impreza and I am getting a new detcat exahust fitted. I was thinking about changing the pannle filter to a performance one, but my mate says the oil on the new filter kept clogging his air fuel meter. Is this regular occorence?

 

There have been a few posts on this try a search. My opinion is the are OK and when its time to clean don't over oil it.
There is a in depth report from K&N regarding this and they could not find one problem with Faulty maf's

 

I found a few angry threads.
Where could I get and sti panel filter? just the dealer?

 

Scooby Parts do them but there a lot of money
Why not go with a green cotton or K&N you wont go wrong with either

 

Just want a non oiled one

 

Even the stock ones are oiled bud!

 

So how do performance one potentually damage the MAF and standard ones dont?

 

Over oiling dude!
If you run a google search youll fing loads of air filter test comparisons - try that to help decide!!

 

Cheers I will give that a look

 

I think the A'PEXi panel is a non-oiled jobbie (the best for filtration and power too).

 

Agreed with Joz - The APEXI filters seem to get the best reviews everywhere!

 

Will def take a look at that. Thanks guy

 

Welcome bud - let us know how you get on!!

 

Having troubel finding that filter for sale apart form ebay. This cossie one is supposed to be dry

Yeah, unfortunately the Apexi is a rare thing. I'm sure the Cossie one won't be to shabby, performance-wise...

 

The only apexi ones i could find were form the states
