Itg or ram air ? Panel filter for 182

[alexessex_7]

As above, just noticed the garage who last serviced the car kindly through away my k&n filter and put a cheap standard filter in.

Is it worth paying for the itg or is ram air just as good ?

Itg seems to be a good filter. Or go full hero and buy the fatty style induction kit

Read through a thread on here that said the standard air box is the best with a panel filter ?

It is but if you want the noise to the fatty style is cheap and good

I had a K&N panel in the standard air-box but it still felt a bit restricted, so changed it for the K-Tec Racing induction kit (which the fatty is a cheaper alternative to) and the difference is noticeable and it sounds awesome! Mine isn't a daily car tho so heat soak on the cone isn't an issue so can't comment on that but the sound :laughing::laughing:

Either or tbh they both do the same thing and maybe get you a 1bhp gain

I fitted a ph1 172 airbox to my 182 and to my 172 and it was by far the best sounding and imo performing. This is compared to an expensive induction kit (enclosed carbon fibre) and the standard 172/182 airbox.
Try and pick up a ph1 172 airbox, you won't regret it.

The fatty style/ktec sounds a lot better imo

I'e just stuck in ramair filter. Saves 20 quid every service for a new paper one.

I am a bit worried however as ive read foam panel filters have a tendency to fall apart and be sucked in the engine?!!! Hopefully this is just scare tactics

Can recommend the ITG panel filter... :up:
