I just sent my block out to GE and I plan on running about 20lbs. The air filter I have now is a no big name brand. I read alot about air filters collapsing and I don't want that to happen to me. Does anyone know which air filters(cone prefferably) can handle that task of my boosting needs? I already searched and just got a thread about sone akimoto filters from 5/26/06. Are the aem dry flow filters a good choice? I need a 2.75 opening and about a 5 inch or so element to fit my setup. Any helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

 

K&N makes all kinds of good quality filters for any application

 

Yeah I seen a neat looking conical filter by k-n with the top center open with another element in the center. Would that be a good filter for a fi setup? Do you know if it lets more air in since it has the extra element?

 

my intake fell off last night on a bumpy road, i ran over it once, then backed up and ran it over again....its completely pancaked,damn

 

that sucks. What kind was it?

 

How about the apexi filter?

 

buy a few different ones and try them on the dyno. I picked up 15 hp at 17psi by changing my filter

 

Help would be telling me which filter you got more hp from. Good filters are not cheap. I would appreciate it?

 

K&N or none

 

i run a 4inch k&n, wont you anything else. F those foam ones they get sucked in the turbos

 

Custom K&N... just go to anywhere that stock them and start looking through the catalog for dimensions.

 

kn is the only company i know of offering a variety of custom filters and quality filters.. get the largest you can fit. they have many sizes to choose from

 

Apexi!

 

what about those of you that don't have room for a filter? does anyone sell a cap-like filter? i looked on k&n's web site and didn't see anything like that. i'd rather buy a pre-made one than ghetto rig my own up.

 

i just got the apexi i head alot of good things about it.

 

what about the dry aem filters?

Seriously? Is this true for the Greddy foam filter that comes with their turbo kits? Seems like it would be darn near impossible for it to become dislodged.

 

i dont run a filter at all on my turbonetics, since it wont clear my stock fan. Is it bad to run no filter?? What size kn will fit??

worst idea ever

1-it cuts the surface area of the inlet down significantly
2- it sucks at filtering anything

 

K&N, just goto one of the performance stores that stock K&N and ask the guy what they have that will fit and test fit that **** till you got the perfect one.

When I got mine, I told the guy that I need a 3" inlet about 5-7" in length and boom he got it for it and it worked perfectly.

No Foam Crappy stuff, would never recommend that ****.
