Suprakeith Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 An "uprated" filter that you feel the need to keep checking if it's leaking, as they have a reputation so for.....? Oh dear Lol. Like it. I only double checked fiter after fitting. It hasnt leaked yet so should imagine it be fine. Its always best to be safe and keep eye after fitting new parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 We all have our different opinions on what to do with cars, i know the oem filter would be fine but i prefer to replace with uprated parts where can Uprated ?

Suprakeith Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I have a mate who sponsors a drift team with three cars and its what they use not oem filters, so if its good enough for them its good for my car. Plus have a good friend in ford motorsport and they always use uprated filters over standard aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I could ask my mate and find out why but do remember him saying something about the size of particals it filters down to plus increased flow. Not 100% sure but will double check when see him next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I've never used HKS filters before, but I liked the K&N one which is only slightly more expensive than the OEM filter but has the added bonus of an integral filter removal nut. Check it out in this free plug! I never found any faults with it... Anyone link me where I can buy the k&n correct one for my TT?
