Tried searching, couldnt really find anything. I have a AEM CAI and I think its tired to retire the original filter. I was wondering what you guys think is some of the best filters for the intake? Kinda looking for something sounding powerful and loud if that means anything. Thanks.

I'm gonna say K&N>those green ones>the blue ones :P

I've always liked K&N, the new Accell blue filters should be good as well, and the green, whatever their name is.

It's holding down the garage floor right now.

it depends. Do you want a filter that flows better with open media? or do you want less flow but closed (Efficient) media? K&N has better flow, but they are really open media. So the question is how long do you want your engine to last. I personlly think the best is the paper media/element like the stock ones. That is the best efficient media IMO.

Please define efficient for me.

I define it as how well it flows and how small a particle it can filter. In which case an oiled gauze filter is better than a paper filter.

everyone here is wrong for flow it's the

HKS supermegaflow

K&N brotha.

Stick with the big name brands and stay away from autozone $25 filters. I bought one for my short ram two years ago, and the top end of the filter collapsed and cracked. I definetly like the quality of my k&n that came with the turbo kit cause it's all shiny, and me like shiny :).

no, green = http://www.needforspeed.co.uk/green/index.htm




has anyone actually use a HKS?

whatever you do, dont get the stupid filters autozone sells. i was forced to get one when the extension of my intake disappeared and that thing was such a bitch to get on the short ram part. k&n is supposed to be real good tho.

green filters are what i use. www.greenfilterusa.com

from switching to the green from the AEM filter, it seems to have a little more kick in the butt.

definatly dont buy an autozone filter. i bought one and stuck in on my stock intake pipe. one night im driving normal and i hear this big thud, and didnt think anything of it. well luckily i looked under the hood to do something else that night, and noticed the filter had fallen off.. lol

best = apex'i power intake, but its BANK

I say K&N

MEDIA????

I thought that filters were measured in microns? Ive had my aem cai with the K&N on for like 40k and my car still has very good compression #'s.

Glad to see you made it home man. No more tacky ass turbo guys who don't know shit about your car flaming you without provocation. Now it's your duty to continue to troll toonerz and direct unsuspecting no0bs here so that they might actually learn how to tune their cars and not be ghey imo. :thumbsup

Did I mention they flow better than K&N?

so does not havin a filter....does it actually filter particles as good as the K&N along with the air flow???

Filters smaller than 5 micron particles, it's used on Peugeot's formula cars, as well as the Green Machine.

Just read this:

Yes, but damn expensive and the filter media has a short life.
