Never heard of this ITG that you and Ratty have mentioned. Did you use a K&N before buying the ITG? Just wondering if you have any comparison etc.

Thanks for all the replies guys :)

I paid £32.95 for my K&N filter. That would have been the best price at the time (I do my shopping well generally ;-) ), so that'd be the price to beat.

Anyone used both ITG and K&N? I've never really been a K&N fan, more cone filters, never had a panel filter by them. Just never heard of ITG. Guessing if you two with big power Type-S' are using them they can't be all bad.

Where do you buy them from? I did a quick FleaBay search but drew a blank.

Did you see that link to the K&N filter I gave you over the page? That's the cheapest on ebay at the minute.

Big ponies or not, the K&N being as free-flowing as it is is going to open up your throttle response and help the car breathe better. It still filters very well (You won't have any issues) and you can maintain it, so it's win win win win! ;-)

There's no reason to dislike K&N.

I had Pipercross - so neh! In fact, I may still have it ... want me to have a look?

Yeah man, thanks for that. I did notice that it was for only up top 96. Will it fit?
