Yeah Symes, same as Magnatec oil ey mate? used it for the life of my Miggy, cant see what problem is

[Kevin Wood]

Is it giving better performance or does it just SOUND like it is.
Doubt a non std filter alone on a stock engine will improve something that Gm spent millions on when they designed the engine and it's intake system.
Glad its running ok but dont be taken in by the air filter making a louder sound.

Indeed. Same filter on the 3.0/3.2, and very similar size on a Monaro so there's no way on earth it'd be restrictive on a 2.5.

see you miss the point-you need never get another filter-just clean it

Oooo, my buttocks clenched when I saw the price

[Kevin Wood]

Fair enough. I'd rather just bin the paper filter and fit a new GM one every 20k than mess about cleaning one, because I'd want to be cleaning one of them more regularly than that.

I have foam pipercross filters on the kit car and it only does a few K on them before you can see dust starting to form on the intake trumpets. They are generously oiled too, as there's no MAF.

Pipercross are aiming their products at a certain market group and to show their product in the best possible light to that certain market,
if your not sure who i am talking about then all i will say is the modified brigade.
I would like to think that the majority of Omega Owners are a bit more savvy than many.
We did not buy this maque to stick induction filters on and stright through exhaust systems,
we bought them because they are the best( imo) of the last of rear wheel drive luxury saloons or estates to be had.
I would also say that the cost of a new filter is hardly a reason to ditch it for a washable filter, so the reason must be to go with the ooh it sounds louder and therefore it must go faster brigade.
I agree that wayne's car is running much better than it has been for a quite considerable amount of time , but still go back to the fact that the filter is making no differance at all bar the noise.

Replace any "crap/dirty" filter with a new clean one and you will see an improvement in performance/running.  Why not put a new standard one on and see the same/better improvement for less money.  As for saying its everlasting and just needs cleaning regularly, thats krap - in a real world that won't happen
