Cosworth drop in air filter

Anybody used their filters before? Its a basic non-oiled panel filter for $55 shipped on ebay. I am not affiliated with this company in any way not trying to advertise just wanted to know if anybody has used them before.

I'm thinking about picking it up to try, i'm waiting on an intake for a couple reasons mostly to see what Perrin has coming and also the possibility of forced induction which Don is doing a great job tempting me with.

FWIW

Cosworth doesn't list an airfilter on their site for FRs/BRz/86

I know others are interchangeable...so you may want to verify you aren't paying an 86 tax...just saying


***I had heard that the matrix filter interchanges, a quick search shows the matrix cosworth filter available for $10 cheaper or ~20% ***

**note no PN is listed for this filter in their listing**

Installed this today at lunch, it was kind of a pain to get it in there properly but now that its in I am happy with the purchase. I am trying to enhance performance, handling, and looks so I tried to get the most gains for my dollar. Between this, the Perrin pulley, Motiv test pipe, and Visconti tune i think I will be happy for a while.

I'm in Canada so it's a bum deal for me.

I'll wait until a brand I carry releases something. AP is currently my top pick.

A Cosworth drop in engine is a far tastier thought than a panel airfilter
