Old HKS intake filters
I have a set of the older HKS intakes with the mesh cover. I like them a lot, however, they stopped making the relacement filters. I'm looking for a material to use that will work just as well or, if anyone has the old filters I would buy them. If you have some please PM me ASAP. thanks

You might be better off buying two K&N cones and using the existing HKS piping. The HKS filters don't filter worth a crap. K&N makes TONS of universal sizes - you should be able to find a size that will fit pretty easily.
That said, the link Mahjik posted should be the replacement elements for the old green "poison mushroom" filters. But, post pics up and we'll give you a hand.

For the HKS Super/Mega Flow intakes, you want the 150mm filters.
As for the foam filters being crap, they are as good as K&N filters when used properly. Foam filters require filter oil as the foam itself doesn't do the filtering alone. You need something like this:

Using real filter oil, my intake pipes over several track events and street driving were as clean as friends with K&N filters. However, foam filters (over time, talking more than just a few months) can harden and not do their job if not maintained properly.
There are main tests showing foam filters with oil out performing filters such as K&N. Granted these are the newer foam based filters from companies like Amsoil but when used properly they are just fine.

If you install a filter and your hands are clean, there is no oil on the filter.

but they have thier super fluid
The HKS Super Mega flow element is a 2-layer, dual density, wet-type polyurethane filter that uses an impregnated viscid fluid to attract and stop damaging dirt particles from entering your engine. This bonded fluid allows use of a larger pore design for maximum airflow without sacrificing filtration.
