I have not heard of such brand. But from research of their development, looks like an overall good filter.

all these new 'color' filter companies. i know there is some 'blue' filter company on the move, and now this.

seems like they aren't too bad of a product, with good intentions, but then you get this http://www.greenfilterusa.com/twister.asp ghey heatsheild, and they can't even spell venturi. if they spent all that time trying to keep the rubber off of the drop in panel filters(in the name of improving flow), why did they make such a restrictive heatsheild?

i guess it would take some actual numbers to make a real judgement, but it looks like another filter company trying to ride on the 'alternative' color of their choice.

They're both made of cotton gauze, so IMHO they're both the same. With this type of filter, the cotton gauze doesn't do the filtering - the oil does. So, if you'll pardon the pun, I'd stick with the K&N...

Cotton, as you probably know, is white. The oil is what makes these filters different colors. I've seen red, blue, gold, and now green. Whatever!

He's right they are all making the same type of filter now, if i remember right about a year or so K&Ns patent on the cotton filter expired and all those colored copies popped up. I'm sticking with K&N, they developed the filter and are the ones who have been around.
