Cleaning pod filter?

[steven]

Hi mates, i've got a HKS pod filter, but it's getting very dirt now.

So i wonder can i use the K&N the filter cleaner to clean it. If it's can't work what's the best way to clean it ?

Cheers

HKS is the green/yellow mesh like stuff yeah?

My friend has one on his car, he just took the mesh out and threw it in the wash said it worked wonders, sounds abit louder now too.

Either that or just hose it from the inside out. Just make sure you leave it to dry fully before you put on back in your car

It's a green one HKS, when i bought the car it already in there. I wonder is it use oil base? if so i think i could use the K&N the filter cleaner to clean it.

cheers

be careful. i had the green HKS one and when i washed it it destroyed itself. when i put it back on, chunks of it kept breaking off and hitting my AFM and clogging it up, causing the whole car to battle when driving. ended up costing me $70 for a new filter. much brighter green though.

Thanks Terminal: i think i better get a new one soon, because i think the pervious owner already use it for a long time. By the way do u have a cold air box for ur pod? Because i felt the pod filter is not as nice as the K&N panel filter..... and quite nosie too...

Thanks again for the experience

I think those HKS filters are throw away, and shouldn't be washed or oiled, unlike the K&N type.

I've got one too and I wish I had a girlfriend who was that filthy!

I'm about to but a replacement filter for it from an online company - $33 each.

Redbaboon is right, the HKS filter elements are throw away.

Redbaboon is right, the HKS filter elements are throw away.

that would become expensive after awhile.

The K/N filter cleaner kit is very good for k/N filters and gives the pod a good clean. U can even use the cleaner fluid as a light engine degreaser

[DJ_L3ThAL]

yer K&N is always the best go, with my new turbo setup im getting amonster K&N filter with the cleaning kit

[Guest INASNT]

wont be as big as my K&N

[DJ_L3ThAL]

how big is your K&N?

[Guest INASNT]

U saw it at MAS.

Havent seen that big for sale in AUS as mine came from japan

[DJ_L3ThAL]

yer its big, but i am pretty sure u cna get the 4" ones form autobarn dude

meh, ill order it form japan if thats what it takes to beat u

[Guest INASNT]

well u copied everything else so u might aswell

[DJ_L3ThAL]

hahaha, never knew T67s were the same as 3037s... man i better learn more about turbos

[Guest INASNT]

its actually a 3040, but close enough

Lmao

[nitemare5]

yeh it is expensive to keep the HKS pod filters maintained and they filter like crap. K&N are awesome, and Apexi just as good (the legalness (in vic anyway) of the paper type apexi is a big turn on as well)

[redline2003]

apexi is the brand to use for filteration and flow, however arnt they throw away too?? as they anrt oiled

[steven]

do u guys have any cold air box for your pod filter? If so, could anyone post some guild of how to make a cold air box for pod filter please.

Thanks a lot
