Which Pod Filter?

[Jamie88]

Hey guys. I have a hks mushroom pod and the filter foam need replacing desperately. Is it worth paying $50 for more foam or I can get apexi power intake pod for $85 new. I know the apexi is the dry type filter but ive heard nothing but good things about the hks pods. Whats best??

i use a k&n pod filter. no dramas so far. fantastic local stuff

get the cleaner kit for it and do it every 10,000k's

Yeah ive had k n N filters before too, they are good. Just thinking maybe the dry type shit now that everyone goes on about the oil killing afm's??

apexxxxi for the pods

HKS is crap use a apexi pod .. seriously filters better and is a little quieter for the cops

also doesnt cover afm in oil

Stock air box with a paper filter FTW... 10 bucks in your local auto shop.

K&N Pod. They don't foul your afm with oil either. They only do if you get over enthusiastic when your re-oiling. Even then if you do over oil just spray electrical contact cleaner over the afm element after you've taken the car for a drive. (allows the larger portions of oil to be ingested, leaving the rest in the filter.)

Ditch the pod and tie a stocking over the afm hahaha

Get a DRIFT one if u like loudness ;P loudest pods i've heard

[KISIN]

i had a KN now a HKS mushy...

KN louder then HKS

HKS dry KN oiled

HKS fits into smaller places where KN cant (eg my engine bay)

KN much cheaper (can get them for under $50 at autobarn sales)

If i had to pick another besides these two, wouldnt mind checking out the Blitz pod...APEXI no way, some say its good some say its absolute crap...wouldnt want to spend $200 on something that MIGHT be good.

But yeh i cant decide between HKS or KN

if that test is true than i'd go the Apexi Power Intake

Ive got an HKS mushroom on my car.... give it a clean every few months... sounds good, looks good, lots of flow...

borrowed an Apexi Power intake one and put it on the car.... it was so farken quiet that it felt like i was almost driving a non turbo! plus the car didnt feel as quick!

hks one back on the next day!

The stock air box with K&N panel filter sounds so much more classy and refined. You can also hear the turbo spool rather than the awful loud sucking noises you get with a pod

Yeah the apexi pod makes toy car sounds... I got sick of it quick.

my thoughts exatly. nothing sweeter than the spool. even though im on a stock turbo

you can get Apexi pod filters that bolt straight up to the R33 AFM and we do them for $90 each.

Didnt feel as quick cause you couldnt hear the loud sound. from my experience the apexi is quite loud. Personally stock box with hi flow filter is good. no heatsoak and car sounds good enough. didnt by a turbo because of the sound it makes.
