FIESTA_MAD Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 So what does it do then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Fester Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Bought one for mine a couple of months back and while I can't really say i've noticed any more poke,the fuel economy seems to have crept up,even in this cold spell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIESTA_MAD Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 so how much of a mpg gain should i get with the panel filter over my 35-37 mpg on normal one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You'd get maybe 0.5bhp, worth it though in the long run I suppose though, they don't need replacing, they do allow a nicer flow into the engine and they're not that expensive.

ford=win Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The after market panel filters basically have a thinner weave that allows more air in and a light film of oil to trap the smaller bit of crap in the air, they are defiantly worth replacing as they last the life of the car so are a great investment, with regards to performance and power, yes you will see improved economy and power but it is a very small increase, my best recommendation would be a piper cross filter as it is made of a foam material which is considered to be the best Hope this answer your questions, if you want to know a bit more just let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIESTA_MAD Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 I saw a pipercross filter for £15 on here for the mk7 might get it ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford=win Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 £15 is a absolute margin! for that kinda money its a no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
