For those of you with a 4" turbo inlet: what filter do you use?

[supraguy@aol]

Just wondering what my options are.
I've been trying to find something like an Apexi or Blitz, but cant seem to find any that will clamp onto a 4" intake pipe. I see spectre filters, but dont really think those are the best quality. Any suggestions?

get a reducer to go on the turbo inlet. run that to a normal intake pipe and then put your filter on it.

HA! I'm running a spectre filter until I find a better one that fits correctly (4" dryflow, please!) Not the best, but it's sure a heck of a lot better than nothing at all!

 

[supraguy@aol]

Yeah, i was considering that.
Just seemed to make sense, to take advantage of the turbo's 4" intake.

you can get a k&n any size you want

Agreed a 4in k&N is 50 bucks

Using a spectre here. They are pretty decent actually. I like mine. I have a AEM filter but it kept slipping off of my intake pipe, so I am not using it.

I have been running a 4" Spectre for many years now with no issues!

Using a 4x7 AEM Dryflow here, picked it up for about $55 shipped on ebay. No problems with mine slipping off or anything as emerica experienced.

I was hoping to find a filter that doesn't require oiling, but as i won't be using the oem maf anyway,
i'm not opposed to a K&N style unit.

 

[steven89]

The AEM's are dry filters, you just spray the cleaner, rinse it off then once dry put it back on the car.

+1 on the K&N filter. I found mine locally at Pep Boys and was told that they keep it in stock; a bit more convenient although ordering online isnt as much of a hassle as it once was

Spectre here with no issues. Don't knock it cause it's not the most expensive filter on the market.

Get the Spectre and call it a day! My intake and overall evaluation of how it performs leads me to believe that it is comparable to K&N. If it has to be a top tier name get the K&N. Trust me you won't be dissatisfied with the Spectre filters look and function. It filters and allows the car to breathe, and looks attractive as well! It is not like motor oil where you really need quality top brand name. EXxon, Mobil, Shell all seem to get deliveries from one refiner, and badge their name on the gas at the pump. IMHO Spectre copied K&N's build and similar quality and badged their name on it.

Get a aem dry flow filter. You can get them in different sizes and lengths. Great filter. I run a 4in one on my 1j

 

[supraguy@aol]

I may get the AEM, actually.
But im glad to hear that Spectre is a decent alternative.

I was looking at this one.

Thats the one I bought, and didn't work. I have a bead on my intake pipe, so that is why it doesn't work. It wants to pop off. If you would like to buy one, Ill sell you mine

I still have an AFM. It's a Lexus AFM, but something like this still ought to fit.

I needed to grind out a couple of the bolt holes for mine and get it to fit correctly, but it's been fine for a good long time now.

 

[hvyman]

I have a bead as well and stays on.

 

[emericaskater285]

Do you have it clamped on? When I put it on it would stay, but when I tightened my clamp it wanted to pop off. Also couldn't force it past the bead, so I didn't end up using it. I tried and tried to get that to work, but it just wouldn't lol.
