which of the two are better for performance and daily driving???

just want to know what all you guys think.. i want to know from both sides if any difference are said... or even an alternative drop in filter?

 

I've heard a lot of negative things about the HKS "mushroomfilter", it's said that they let in to much dirt, and some people found sand resedues in they'r intake, I don't know if it transfers to the drop in filter, but i would go for the K&N just to be on the safe side.

 

Go with K&N.

 

drop in filter? jus go k&n.

i picked up a 2nd hand hks s5 kit on ebay, goes well with my hks parts

I know around here, HKS filters might be the "evil" company, but I wouldnt sweat it, big contaminants is what you need to worry about, not microscopic particles.

 

coo thanks thats what i was thinking... K&N it is

 

K&N Filters aren't much better when a majority of users over oil the filters. Your better off just using a stock filter. K&N Filters are also one of the few emissions approved filter. So oil them with care.

 

if its a drop in filter goin into the stock air box, your legally allowed to put any brand filter in there. Its when you remove the air box that makes it illegal.

 

dont they make a hks drop in?

 

yeah they do

only thing is HKS filters are not advertised as washable, you have to replace the element.

 

If you live in an area that there is a lot of dust, the HKS or greddy mushroom foam filters do not work very well in keeping the dust out because you cannot oil them and do not seal very well on the back. Otherwise they are great filters. The only downside is that you need the replace the foam. When i use to have an HKS cone filter i use to wash it every few months even though its not recommend... :-)

 

I prefer the AEM dryflow filters. They do not require oiling, are washable, and are very good at trapping fine dust particles.

ive ran both and there are pros and cons to both.....with the hks or foam filter you will get better performance but you also allow more debris into the intake and with the k&n or spectra you loose jus a little performance over an hks but you get better filtration and you do have to make sure you oil it properly and not over do it

 

what about the BLITZ drop in?? any good or bads????


its either:

the K&N drop in or

the BLITZ drop in or

the HKS drop in or

i just stop asking and keep my stock one cause my NA is slow anyways ahahaha jk

 

jus go to your local autostore and grab a K&N, your still rocking a stock air box so the gains would be marginal between the other drop ins. You cant really beat K&N's warranty.

 

I have a barely used K&N for $20 shipped. Drop in filter, I used it for about 3-4 months.

I can ship it before X-Mas.

Pm me if needed.

 

pm sent

 

I <3 HKS...made my turbo sound way louder so I know it's flowing more than the K&N, but then again personally I don't care what gets sucked into my intake as long as it isn't a rock or something..

 

Aem!

 

Even TINY grains of sand is no good for your intake. Take care of your intake...its like your lungs, dont let in what you dont want.

 

there was a dead mouse in my airbox when i bought it.....found it after it was driven home..... hks power filters are good if you want to have the smallest clearance area possible but, if you keep your stock induction tube and have the space might as well go with a k&n. i built a intake pipe for my na so had to go to a hks power i had just shelfed from a abandoned project, but their filters get expensive

 

I liked the sound of my blitz filter too before I got cited for it...jdm ftl....

 

K&N drop-in. Keep it oiled.

 

forsure.. need to pick up a cleaning kit from autozone and some double sided tape for my newly bought tII skirts =].... can anyone help me slap them on??

 

Sure. I'll slap on a mustache, you slap on some lipstick. I'll grab my snap-ons and we'll slap on. And on... all night.


J/k bro, get Jaime to do it








(he's got the mustache)

 

haha i know i should ask him, and pay him with food lmao like everyone else does
