tbh, how do you define a performance panel filter? know a guy who spent years selling and er,dealing with claims, and very few where checked, normally for "repeat" offenders.
then again insurance companlys being so tight now, guess they might,

Soz ads,
i was thinking efficiency as being mpg. the more air the more fuel etc, not that tehres much more air, hence the fact he probs wont notice a difference.

I've got a piperX panel filter, that was about £35 from halfords. I wouldn't go there for one though. Theres places on ebay that are cheap and also www.potn.co.uk who have alot of stuff on their site. not sure what their service is like though? - i've never used them

takes a long time to add products lol.. sometimes we start and then head off to the pub instead With ranges like Catcams there are so many options for each car that its counter productive to list everything. People just don't know what to buy.
Certainly we are more than willing to get parts in that aren't on the site..

Especially for a panel filter.. its more a replacement filter than a performace modification

Thanks guys.

The 'performance' panel filter are better. All filters trap dirt well thats their job over time most o/e ones get clogged and the airflow through the filter slows. Cotton ones are designed to flow consistently even when dirty which is due to the filter oil and filter construction.

and
Are the cotton ones the standard or the panel ones?
Thanks

original equipment...
Cotton ones are just a material used by the likes of Green and BMC. They supply panel and cone type filters.
