k&n or pipercross?

[eddie555]

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my air filter from standard to either a k&n or pipercross panel filter.

Could anyone shed any light as to which one is best?

Cheers

both are good brands - I have used both in the past on different engines - go for the one that does not need oiling to avoid issues with the maf

I've found a pipercross dry type one, do k&n do a dry type?

[Jay762]

think so - PRO - R do one as well

I like both Pipercross and K&N so tough one but I would go K&N :)

Is there much of a problem with the one's that need oiling? I don't fancy causing any problems with the mad.

I've just seen the pro r one's, they're made by pipercross aren't they??

I think that may be the one I go for.

Sorry, that should have said MAF not mad

Yeah any filter that needs oiling is a no with Subarus mate I would just stay clear :)

didnt know the Pro r were rebranded pipercross but as before you cant go wrong with either brand, just steer clear of ones requiring oil ;)

Found this filter on the bay, pro-r manufactured by pipercross.

Let me know what you think: genuine pipercross or not?

Looks ok to me has a parts number and a website. Could always message ProR themselves with the parts number to confirm it I guess.
