Washable Filters

[DS-ZILR]

Gday crew the time has come for me to wash my filters i have 2 HKS washable pods that are filthy!

Just wondering who else is running them, what you do to clean them and what oil you put on them to keep em sticky?

also is there a down side to these filters like sucking air filter oil into my intake?

Cheers crew you know how it goes any info is appreciated

Cheers

Dion

The hks ones are better off dirty because when they are clean they cant filter for shit lol

HKS are one of the best filters around.

I got 2 of them and I use the K&N air filter cleaner kit.

Let it soak for about 10mins then rinse under tap and let it air dry.

Apply a light coat of filter oil and re-insert the filters back on.

Lmfao is that a joke? I got a $40 3A racing pod filter which was proven to have best filtration and flow even above the Apexi. HKS came dead last in filtration. Uselss filter, throw it out.

HKS mushroom/pod filters are well know to be one of the worst filters on the market

Razzaamatazz pantyhose is the best filter around. Provides good filtration with mimimal restriction and can double as a condom if you suddently run out.

Find em in the safeway isle for other feminne hygiene products.

LOL! Kris

I had a 3A racing pod, the glue melted off and the filter fell off.

The HKS ones are doing me fine.

yeah dont know if ya supposed to bolt it straight to ya turbo! just kidding.

yeah i read that review ages ago in autosalon and it supprised the hell out of me. i only have the hks ones because they were on me car when i bought it.

pretty sure i am just goin with the stock box with a good panel filter apexi or alike.

any objections?

The HKS Piping looks the greatest - absolutely s*xy!

About 3 reports now, all agree that the HKS sponge filters themselves rate quite poorly for both

i) flow and

ii) filtering efficiency.

Further reports say that if you have AFMs, use a dry filter eg APEXi

If you don't use AFMs (eg whilst running a HKS F-Con Pro-V ECU), you can use a wet filter eg K&N

I use Simota Sponge filters on my HKS Intakes and throw them out, once they get dirty. Discarded my HKS ones.

LOL!

Same, my HKS filters came with the car and been cleaning them ever since.

Pods or standard air box. Doesn't really matter if your car is lightly modded, I say.

If you put the stock box back on, I would just upgrade the filter inside to a high flow one for a peace of mind, but I think the standard filter is still just as good... Up to you...

I stick to K&N for filters always have always will, I have a wet pod on atm and just use the K&N cleanin kit every now and then
