what do you guys think about green air filters?I went too my shop the other day,and they demonstrated a mechanisim of a fan sucking in air with a stock air filter...the fan moved slow.Then they demonstrated it with a k&n it moved pretty quick.Then the a Green Air Filter...very fast.The test was too show how good they flow.I just wanted too know if anyone has heard of them before or should i just get a k&n?I believe the green was 60 bucks.

 

was it a green foam type of filter? that might be an HKS filter...otherwise i wouldnt know of any other green filters

 

my understanding is that foam filters don't filter as well as k&n. that'd be my concern.

 

sounds like a HKS...with that color filter

 

Is that the company name? Green Air Filters?

The color of the filter doesn't mean anything, I hope you know that much. I'm sure it's very easy to make a material that flows extremely well. Pretty much any piece of highly porous foam will do. Hell, just put a little metal screen/grate there and it'll flow even better. Or put nothing at all, it'll flow the best. But at the same time, you want to keep out all the nonsense that shouldn't be in your intake.

I think K&N (which sells to many companies, which then put their name on it), does a perfect job between "looks" and function. I'd stick with the regular K&N.

 

no its a foam filter, it is the name here is there site

ditto.

 

The faster the air travels through the filter, the less the filter protects your engine.

 

how are those filters on ebay?The ones that come with the cheap intakes?I heard they arnt that good,but why?

Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but they make cone air filters with the same cotton material used by most K&N style filters. They even reference the K&N part numbers so you can switch to theirs. The filters look fine, they aren't made of foam like the HKS ones. It looks like an ok product, if it flows more, it may provide less protection, but they claim that their 'weave' is so advanced that it outperforms other filters (read: K&N) in protection and flow.
