open cone filters

[truss]

Im bored of my panel filter and miss my old open cone. im going to go back to using one now, but wondering if theres any real difference in using the cheapo Ripspeed metal gauze type jobbie compared to a pipercross foam filter like this?

IS this one worth the extra few quid?
Cheers

Well I've been running one of the halfords ones for about a year without any problems.

i wouldnt expect problems, but i mean to ask is, will filtration be better with the pipercross one? or am i just going to be paying for the name?

Well I woule expect better filtration with the pipercross one but no real wat to prove it

im fitting a ITG Foam fiter to mine on saturday, cant really comment on these cheap halfords filters but a lot of people seem to be using them without problems

ive used one in the past but it got dirty and manky so i then swapped to a green panel. The open cone sounds better and my MPG was better too.
