Air Filter poll

[spartan]

Apologies if a poll has been done before (I did search).

 

Not necessarily a discussion of what's best, just what you've got!

[spartan]

Well, that didn't work.

 

Shall I try again?

[michael]

Keep trying

[spartan]

Sorted!

 

(Thanks for the encouragement).

Stock air box and stock filter here. I was thinking about an alternative panel filter like a washable one, but never could decide if it would be as a reliable a filter as the stock paper one.

Anything which allows me to stick another HKS filter on my car and I am there. (got no stickers on my car before anyone starts on me!)

Shrewd move, I guess they are hoping for the work when the engine rebuild needs doing

I'm using a custom designed stainless steel airbox with TRD panel filter. It's a one off though so not sure if that's useful to you.

To be fair, it was better than the old filter which was in there.

Um... not it isn't matey. Do a search on here. A mushroom filter from HKS cost me 4 turbos

If the old filter was a roll of chicken wire you are probably right

 

I bought a HKS panel filter when I had my MR2, when I held it up to the light and could see through it I decided it might not be the best option

[spartan]

Hey! You guys are 'skewing' my poll! Who's going to admit to having HKS now?

[Burna]

See there's my worry about re-usable panel filters

 

Is there actually a re-usable panel filter on a par with the stock paper filter?

That's an interesting point. Can any of you with the replacement panel filters confirm if they are washable/reusable and robust?

 

If they were then, even ignoring any supposed performance gains, I guess they might be a worthwhile investment.

I have a HKS mushroom filter on my MR2! was on there when i bought it, so I wasn't really fussed about changing it. If I had a Supra though I'd go for something tried and tested, not just branded.

 

Spartan - I had a K&N panel filter in my Civic, and I can say it was an excellent piece of kit, looked and felt very strong and well made, just wash it and give it a spray with WD40 to keep it oily and you're away! Not sure about performance gains or that, but it sounded a little better?

stock air filter wanted - cash offered.

[Guest willismaximus]

If someone was looking at getting a replacement filter to go in his stock box which one would people suggest?..... guessing the HKS one's a no-no lol

[ivan]

Stock airbox and K&N washable and oilable panel filter here.

[supra_aero]

I thought mushrooms were bad. didn't realise washable ones were that badly rated.

[RobSheffield]

AEM Dryflow.

AEM Dryflow.

 

Sorry I missed that one off the poll (and I don't think I can add it now) - looks like a good one too.

 

Over 230 views of this thread and just 40 votes. Maybe a lot of people with HKS who don't want to admit it?

I think that HKS was advertising new dry 3 layer filter for mushroom induction kits. Any opinions on those?

Yes - don't use them!
