Should i be concerned by this quote? About the 10 microns? Any idea what the original filter filters?

"By using various thicknesses of finer or coarser foams, our designers can vary the above factors to achieve the optimum for each application. It has shown the small quantities of dust particles smaller than 10 microns have no significant effect on engine wear, so the materials used in our range of filters have been carefully selected to give good air flow capacity, excellent load-up tolerance, and high efficiency whilst avoiding unnecessary extraction. Where high dust flow rates are possible, we tailor the filters to arrest even the slightest dust."

Used to have an ITG foam element in my Scooby. Can't say I noticed much difference, but they come highly recommended by Scooby owners.

Thanks mate. been searching and they seem to get good reviews but i doubt i would see much increase in bhp or torque from fitting one so maybe not worth it.

Still not sure on the idea of induction kits from past experiences but the noise would be nice ;)
