Panel Filter Users.......Please can i have some comments on either the Green panel filter or K and N panel filter.......... is there really much of a difference between them...or is a panel filter a panel filter???

[don55]

id really not put to much thought into it mate, id say which ever you can find cheapest.

ive had both and really not noticed any difference.

[Sax-Elmo]

yeah i thought that immediately after making this what seems now like a pointless thread lol!! its a 30 to 40 quid mod at the end of the day........... so cant be much difference a?? once iv saved a few quid il look at some proper mods....... still we all want the best for our motors a??....and for the money..lol...cheers mate

green filters, allow more air though, and have a bigger gauze ... BUT its better suited to cars that are only having low milage and short bursts, such as Climbs and short races.

for day to day, you need something thats going to filter more, but still less restrictive that Stock...go for K&N

[Sax-Elmo]

tonto mate i was originally gonna go for the K&N but i got confused with what one to buy for my 51 plate 2001 VTR, K&N stock 2 types for my model....a long rectangular one and a square one (sorry cant remember the model numbers) but heres the links:

and on the K & N website they stock 2 types aswell

[Sax-Elmo]

couldnt get onto the k and n website that shows the 2 types better... mines a 2001 model but there seems to be 2 k and n models available....do you know what the correct k and n panel filter i will need mate...thanks and soz to waffle on .... thats the only reason i chose the green panel filter...and cos of the rep they have...

[Tontsy]

i havnt a clue which one you would need for yours.
i cant get on the K&N website to check... but im sure somone on here would be able to help.

Best bet is to whip out the one you have and double check. Only a 10min job

TBH mate, there all the same, as long as there from a reputable make. EG - K an N, Green, Pipercross, BMC etc :y:

[kirtisb]

whats thye k and n for 2 lambda all about? how do u tell if thats what you have?

and does any of you no what the shipping costs are form kam racing?

[lharrowing]

the 2 lambda will be for the models which have the two lambda sensors so for your model there will be one in downpipe and one further down basically one before the cat and one after all for better emissions for your car so all your looking for are two sort of plugs which are screwed into your exhaust

KamRacing i was planning on ordering from your site anyway... its the same with the ones on your site...seems to be 2 different k and n models for a 2001 VTR:

my airbox looks square and the (E-33-2227) model looks to be the one that would fit. Il get my pal to open it up a look at my standard one 1st. I will hopefully be making a few purchases from Kam Racing but 1st i want to get this panel filter sorted .... lol...:wall:....thanks for everyones help
