I use the k&n simply because of ease of removal with the nut on end of them. 25mm socket to remove them just a lot less hassle

I haven't touched Blueprint since I had one with no holes in the flow in plate! Best bit was the bloke in Euro's who ignored my comments not to put it back into stock and just looked at me blankly when I wanted a refund.

Can't beat the OEM oil filter, but since I didn't have one last month, I used Mann Oil Filter this time. I've been using that brand on my e46 M3 so I thought I give it a try on my Subie.
