How much is the OEM filter from the stealers?

Andy

....Dunno but I guess you're thinking how many you'd need to buy in a 60k mile period - So you can compare costs with an ITG?

Do also remember that the resistance to flow through the oem filter is higher than both an ITG or K&N one. Less intake airflow resistance equates to sharper throttle response and probably the odd extra hp.

Ah, but technically is that odd extra hp at the flywheel? :evil: :wink:

For what it's worth I definitely felt improved throttle response (unless technically it was the placebo effect).

I have a Pipercross filter ready to go into my 1.4, though mainly for the long life reasons over performance gain. That said, 1.4 naturally aspirated, what performance gain?  :tongue:
