Default Which Performance Air Filter?

06 Impreza 2.0l R-Sport Wagon.

Advice needed.

I want to replace the standard Panel Air Filter for one that will give me a little more power.

I'm not expecting miracles but i want to make the best choice and i'm unsure which one to go for.

There was a time when i'd go straight for K&N but i've heard about Green filters and of course Pipercross too and now i'm undecided.

I dont want to go the whole hog and put an induction kit on as i understand i'll get warning lights, plus the cost.

Any recommendations?

STI always worked well for me (any of the top brands will do the job)

None of them. Standard is more than good enough. I went through this in detail a while back as I looked for an easy increase in BHP even a slight one. The outcome was even standard WRXs don't benefit from them no matter what people say. Perception is a powerful thing, especially when you've invested money into it.

Sorry to be a wet blanket but it wouldnt be fair to not share.
