K&N or Pipercross?
« on: 09 October 2009, 17:46 »
As said, which panel filter is best? I would have thought K&N but would just like to here some opinions  :smiley:

How bad does it effect the MPG btw?

Doesn't the oil do bad things to the MK4's MAF?

So I heard, but I've had no problems with mine and I've been using it for about 6 months or so.

I have a pipercross foam filter and find it easy to clean, warm soapy water, rinse, allow to dry then spray that pipercross stuff that makes the dirt stick.

I think they are only problematic if you over oil them. Pipercross is next on my list to do. From Reading on here, I think most people would recommend Pipercross.

I use a different oil for my filter, an oil that my dad used on his racing endurance bike.

But yes as Stronz said, they only cause problems if you over oil them.
