Phase 1 Air Filter

[R29TJR]

Good Afternoon All,

I'm looking to replace the air filter on Clio however wanting to know what peoples opinion is on air filters.

Options are as follows:

• ITG Filter - £50.40
• Standard Renault Filter £13.82
• Green Air Filter - £38.90
• BMC Filter - £47.99
• K&N Filter - £62.80

What's peoples views are the after market ones really worth the premium?

Thanks in advance.

Tom

Good info in this thread with some testing data also https://www.cliosport.net/threads/fastcar-clio-172-air-filter-test.445339/

Minimal between all of them tbh. The aftermarket ones will give it a bit more noise.

Go with Itg.

I presume you have a ph1 box?

Neither here nor there really. I've had pipercorss and ktec own filter in my ph1 box and noticed no difference.

Thanks for the link. I found that sometime ago but couldn't find it earlier.

Interesting so may as well just go with the standard item?

Yeah running a phase 1 air box, no idea what filter I'm currently using. So may as well save the pennies and go for the standard item?

I'm biased
K&N long life going in mine .
Fit and forget , I mean clean lol once in a while . [emoji23]

Standard you can't clean but cheap enough to replace. No sound.

Aftermarket as above and do make a nice enough noise.

Thanks all for the help.

I ordered the ITG item in the end.
