Hi in need of some help choosing some new air filters.

I've got twin 1 1/4 HS2's carbs and am running on K&N pancake filters which I've read to be terrible for any engine.

I've got a 1275cc MG Metro bored to 1293 and maniflow manifold and rc40 exhaust. My engine has a stage 3 head.

Any help would be appreciated torn between itg air filter and ram stacks kit from MED or K&N cone filters.

Will get the mini on a rolling road once the new filter is installed to adjust carb needles.

YES! I have one on my hif44, mildish 1275, a massive improvement over my K&N before.

There's not normally a noticeable difference between the top filters like K&N, ITG etc, but what matters more than flow is filtration. There's no point having a filter that flows twice as well as another if it offers no filtration, else you may as well just use the gauze filters you used to see a lot.

All performance filters I am aware of have to be oiled, including foam and cotton, and they will NOT filter properly if the oil is not present to catch the dust passing through.

n' yea what c4ann0n said, I got the itg oil spray stuff, no good with out it!!

Thanks all for your information and help! Going to save up and get MED 1 1/4 twin SU stub sack filter kit, hopefully next month the mini will be back on the road!!!

Cheers Sam
