What kind of hp does the spoon filter give, if any versus stock filter?

 

pretty much any filter on its own (K&N, foam) will give you 1-2 HP max, if that. But they're reusable, cleanable etc...

 

yea, the spoon one just looks purdy!.....i duno if its $200 worth of purdyness though.. I think those monster drop in filters are the same.. for about half the price

I've heard bad things bout the spoon filter

 

That is all you are going to say? Tell us what you have heard and where you heard it....

Vague generalizations don't help anybody.

 

This Spoon filter makes about 3hp and it increases engine response. For DRAG purpose then I will not recommend it but for uphill downhill applications then its not a bad idea to get one.

 

Hey how do those Monster Filters compare to the Spoon Filter? they LOOK pretty much the same.. other than the monster one being red

 

the comptech drop in is also a foam filter element, i went with that one, its only 59 bucks, and i noticed a slight improvement after removing the resonater and piping out of the bumper...

 

They are the same, except for the color (Power Filter 2 vs. Spoon).

 

Get the Apex'i filter, it has been tested to be the best one out there. The Spoon filter is way over price. If you have to have one, just get the Monster2 filter, same thing.

 

Are you talking about this Apex'i filter:


From their Web site:
The dual funnel Power Intake evolved from the highly successful Super Intake. Subtle refinements in the design and filter element resulted in a 10% reduction in pressure drop. Utilizing an upper and lower funnel, the Power Intake reduces air turbulence within the filter and creates smooth air flow into the throttle body. The Power Intake is a maintenance-free dry-type air filter and will alleviate the problem of filter oil from "wet" air cleaners interfering with the air-flow meter. Accept no imitations.

Does anybody have this and can comment on it? It looks like it is $188.00

 

Yes, that's the one I am talking about. Option's Mag. in Japan did a testing on filter. They compared some popular intake in Japan including the HKS and K&N, they found the Apex'i filter the best and give the most hps gain on a Skyline.

 

Saw this filterbefore and I was quite interested in it...
Does anybody have the dimensions of this sucker?
Looked everywhere for it but can't seem to find it.

Will it cram into a stock air box or Icebox?

Thanks for any info...

I have one lying around. Its the exact same thing as the oem filter except the foam instead of filter paper.

 

The APEXi looks shorter than the OEM...do you know the exact dimensions?

 

Spoons Filter is pretty much equilvilant Monster Power Filter 1. Compare to Monster Power Filter2, Spoon has better flow with its material.

 

sorry...I definately heard from someone in this forum that they actually lost power, don't know if it's true or not, but it stopped me from buying it

 

the opening on the A'PEXi filter is 3.25"...there is a kit for the gsr w/ an adapter to attach to the stock tubing...

 

Thanks! What about the girth and length?

 

most chicks always say that length isnt important....only girth

its ALL about the girth
