I have tried ITG, BMC and K&N. I ended up using BMC. I feel the flow is better with BMC. ITG is a bit too oily. K&N does not have much difference vs. stock.

I generally like ITG, but on the C32 I reccomend teh BMC becasue the filter itself is shorter.

thanks for you guys input.

I agreed with harris that the ITG filter is too oily, so on my pervious car, before I installed the ITG filter, I would clean it up first.

I don't know much about the green filter, but evosport's SL55 intake kit does come with green filters and at a very attrective price, so I might gonna jump for it.
