Air filter

I heard about an replacement filter, does it do any good?
And what are my options in that? (mark/model?)
I have tipo 1.4, but i think i already have a replacement filter, are the original filters made of rubber or paper? (i have rubber/plastic).

Re: Air filter

Is yours the 1.4 carb or the 1.4 injection?

There is a few replacement panel filters you can get which are slightly better than paper filters, and with cleaning will last longer than the car.

Don't expect any major improvement. It's the sound of thw engine that changes a little bit, becoming more sporty. Personally I have placed a BMC air filter. As all after-market filters you buy it once and you have it lifetime. Mine costed ~60 euros. Beware that it needs cleaning from time to time as it collects dust, bugs, etc and shuts, becoming less free than the original.
