lets talk about air filters

[CRE]

It's the cheap part that worries me. Most cheap filters either do a piss poor job or they're restrictive as hell.

As for the piping, with our AFM the resonator actually helps things (despite what most people like to believe). It's the accordian hoses which increase turbulence.

Wix wix wix always go with wix filters are you can't go wrong. I added a link to a well known site with filter testing with pics so you can see for yourself.

Wix may be nice, but can those of us not using a stock airbox or accordian hose anymore still use one?

ITG filters are the best filters on the planet IMO.

I can't afford them on the street cars, but on the race cars its all we use.

(We're talking $40-60k engines here)

APEXi has both the bolt on version for the NA AFM or a 70 and 80MM universal version.

They filter well.

Also take a look at the new AEM dry filter.

I am running an HKS filter. Works excellent for me!

ive Heard that the hks mushroom breaks down, with the foam coming apart and into the intake over time.

my generic k&n works great, and if it kills my NA, i guess thatd just be time for an engine swap.

if i had the money, id go with the apexi.

Get yourself an AEM DryFlow filter!
oooh, but get an ITG filter if you can afford it...

I've heard that too. I usually just replace the foam element every somewhat regularly so it doesn't happen to me.

 

[RazoE]

yup, its only like, $30 for a replacement HKS filter...

I am lucky I get mine for about 2200 YEN. And it's actually cheaper, initially anyways, then a K&N over here. Those little bastards are expensive here!

 

[PHILLYSUPRA]

ok. so has anybody used the POWER ENTERPRISE intake.
i saw that HPF has them.
for some reason i always thought that going k+n was the way to go, great info guys.
