bradleyh_15 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Just a queation as to what everyone thinks is the best after market option for an airfilter as i curently have an HKS but have not hurd much good about them so looking to change! any ideas? Was looking at the Blitz sonic power one as it has its own heat shield! Good or bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdzC Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 General consensus is that the standard paper element and box is the best option. If you really must have an aftermarket system then the TRD element in stock box or the ARC system. The mushroom style filters offer poor filtration and suffer from heat soak.

Dnk Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Have the Apexi cone on mine with no problems, must have done around 30,000 miles using them by now There was a crued test done a long time ago and im pretty sure out of the aftermarket filters tested the Apexi came out the best with the HKS green mushroom type the worst. Think K & N were 2nd and Blitz 3rd Edited January 14, 2009 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the single conversions recently, I'm sure someone will have an airbox going cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Apexi Power Intake, Blitz Sonic Power, Power Enterprise Air Impulse II all filter well, the Apexi and PE are similar in price, the Blitz Sonic Power is considerably more.
