avoid the HKS ones as they are known for not filtering very well. the K&N ones are ok but are slightly oiled so not as maf friendly as a fully dry one.
the ones to go for are either the 'green' panel filter or the genuine STI one.
im no WR1 expert (have a P1) but i think im right in saying you have no cat in the centre pipe, just a resonator. if thats the case, you wont get any big performance advantage by changing it, just noise.

Sounds spot on advice to me!

Out of interest, what is the "green" panel filter?

its a panel filter made by a company called green! avaliable from extreme scoobies IIRC. worked very well in a mag test a few months ago for filtration / power. BTW, dont expect big gains with a panel filter. 2 or 3 horses maybe. If i had said green panel filter, Jimbo would be asking if they do pink ones as well.

Thanks. Did a search on the net. I've already changed to an STi panel filter and I'm happy with the results.
