I had those filter elements for more than 2 years,I take them once evry three months and wash them in soapy water and look how clean it still is.You dont have to replace evry 5k,but if you have spare change why not.

use this kit to go with their V mount i/c kit which is probably the
biggest i/c that sits inside the engine bay.

I use K&N filters with the RS system. If you notice in Dale's photos, the primary turbo pipe actually bolts directly to the compressor housing. Very cool.

Can you just spray on the red oil that comes with the K&N cleaning kits? The RS looks so much darn better yellow

I am sold. I have to get these. Plus the SMF I just bought is not going to work with my MED SMIC, it sits about as far as this v-mount does. I am already selling the almost brand new SMF for what I paid $225.00. Pm me if someone wants it.

Well, you need to "work" the oil through the filter. I would imagine the K&N filter oil would probably work just fine.

Hey man, you should contact Jason from RX7store on that HKS RS intake kit. He'll give you a great price on them. I just recieved mine, and man are they beautiful. No other intake kit can compare when it comes to looks.
