Best Airpod?

HKS "super power flow" filter works fine for me.

Wet filter will screw up your AFM.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's the first time I've heard that but I'm not the type to disregard someone elses view =) Personally I would have thought that if the filter was dripping wet then maybe it would have some effect on the afm. Perhaps a better name might be a slightly moist filter rather than a wet filter. Anyone else have views on wet filters? (not K & N specifically) as I'm curious =) Thouhg I'm not about to change mine anytime soon.

trust airinx isnt too bad, ive got a blitz sus stainless on mine now and its incredible. heaps good flow and looks awesome too.....id suggest getting one of those, but nothings wrong with apexi pods - im surprised mine hasnt got an apexi pod seeing how its got an apexi RX6 turb....the guy whacked a blitz on it, smart guy i rekn

[lordsnipe]

K&N will only affect the AFM if they are too wet.

stick to the instructions and you should be fine.

even if the AFM gets coated in oil, i hear a bit of carby cleaner works wonders.

Ive got a big Trust Pod filter anyone had any experience with these?

[bfi.inc]

wouldnt organising a sealed air box with a pick up that drew clean fresh air be more beneficial than this "name brand" is SIKER than that one.I can only speak for what i have seen but we only ever ran K&N on the Willall car and now i do after a certain Jap.foam filters cost me a set of Turbos on mine.

I fitted HKS filter and my car average 0-100km speed went slower...by abt 0.2-0.4s...using RSM to measure...I cannot click on stopwatch that fast...~~

What does everyone think of some thin metal flywire, then a few layers of pantyhose over the top...

would flow excellent... what are your thoughts.... (budget spec i know)

[Downforce]

^^ LOL. never tried it, how about you test it and post up your findings?

[gtst25]

My car makes 255rwkw at the moment with the stock airbox and k&n flat panel air filter.

We tried taking the air filter out and running none - dynoing with the bonnet up and lild off the airbox it made absolutely no difference in power output.

Cheers

now set up a pod with cai and see what happens

Unifilter are wet filters, where do they stand against HKS?

[dezz]

with these dry apexi pods, are they serviceable at all? or do they need to be replaced at regular intervals?

Zero Maintenence.

[dezz]

yeah zero maintenance...so how long do they last?

[No Crust Racing]

My understanding is such that you should blow it out with compressed air at regular intervals. I can't imagine any performance car owner with half a brain not EVER servicing the device that filters the air going into the engine....Not trying to start a big debate just saying that most sensible owners are fairly adamant about regular services =)

Dezz the Apexi items are meant to last for ages and are claimed as zero to little maintenance. You gotta make the choice if you wanna do nothing, blow it out at regular intervals or use a non dry filter. I went with wet purely because it encourages a regular service routine =)

How long is a piece of string..?

No, it's not twice the length from the middle to the end.

So you put on a wet filter to make your life harder?

[No Crust Racing]

LoL. Perhaps we have a different approach to car maintenance. I'd personally rather know that the filter requires cleaning and do it and have a nice clean filter again, personal preference =) Then again, your question was essentially rhetorical anyway so I'll leave it at that.

Side note: Good to see a wide range of views too, be boring if everyone went the same route.
