Could some please tell me how good this filter is. Does it increase induction (sucking) noise from a standard panel filter and increase performance ever so slighty?? Could some one also supply a contact number for ordering one (ITG's number) and the price. I have a 182 Cup on a 2005 plate. Cheers.

ITG Panel Filter

The ITG Panel is definitely worth it, IMO. I purchased one for £40 through Merlin Motorsport about a year ago. I then took the car to a Rolling Road - 179bhp standard and 184 with no other mods apart from the panel. Torque was up from 148 to 155 lb/ft as well (print outs to prove it).
Renault will charge around £20 to replace your filter every time you have a 12,000 mile service - you never need to replace the ITG, what have you got to lose?

ITG filter will give you 0.0002bhp as will any panel filter, they're no better than any other filter on the market. I've got one, but can i notice the difference? No. And for the record an IK will lose you bhp, and torque unless you have the car mapped and fuelled to it.
If your OE one needs replacing, then i'd change it for a ITG/Green filter. If it doesn't then stick with the OE one.

Funniest thing i've read all day.
It will not give any BHP gains whatsoever. It will not increase induction roar. It might smooth out the revs a little.

Forget about the bhp/torque arguments, bottom line is it does make the car "slightly" more responsive, no doubt some will claim this is down to placebo too but it's helped mine so couldn't care less if anyone thinks it's placebo

I found it tended to whistle a little more under hard acceleration. Not by much, but enough for me to notice it.
Be prepared to get your hands covered in s**t, fitting it though. It's caked in a grease-type solution and gets everywhere if you're not careful!

why would you bother rolling road a car to find out how much a panel filter makes a differnece?
