fri3ndly Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Just been reading a post about the HKS mushroom filter (which I have on my car) and how it is bad for the engine and can let dirt etc get into it I do not want to go stock, but is there an air filter that would be better. Looking at a long K&N filter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanM Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 According to what I have read almost anything is better, I got an Apexi to replace mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 best tip i have heard is stay with the stock air box and get a decent panel filter, blitz, apexi, K&N etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fri3ndly Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 I dont have the stock parts so would need to by them. What about this Blitz SUS filter, it looks really good: http://www.envyperformance.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=1027 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictorch Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Stock is supposed to be the best and then the Apexi.. I know a couple of guys running the Blitz and their happy;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n boost Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Use an Apexi. I read the test where they tested a blitz, hks ,k&n and apexi. The apexi won the filitiration test with the k&n second. HKS and BLITZ came last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 You get a great throuty sound from the N/A with an after market filter. I belive the turbo's can be heard clearer on the tt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Use an Apexi. I read the test where they tested a blitz, hks ,k&n and apexi. The apexi won the filitiration test with the k&n second. HKS and BLITZ came last. Guess it shows you can take these tests with a pinch of salt as well, the test I saw Apexi came top with Blitz next. I went with a Blitz due to Apexi not doing a filter for the VVT-i at the time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 does not not depend on the filter element, hks have like 4 or 5 different ones, road wet, raod dry, race, extra thick or something and some others i seen them on a site, i was looking at one, the race one i believe which is to be changed after every track day. i have the hks one, dont seem to bad, needs a new element tho, the difference will be miner.

fri3ndly Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Im looking at this http://performance-solution.co.uk/default.html?lang=en-uk&target=d118.html and for the Supra 93-98 fitment it says "requires aftermarket air flow meter". Could someone enlighten me as to what this is and how much extra it would cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
