So this is working off of the AEM/Injen thread. There was a bit of talk about the filter elements. Now obviously K&N's are gonna be the best, but how are ebay filters? Do they filter very well? Do most of you guys keep them on or get K&N filters? I'd think that they'd be kinda cheap and cheesy, but maybe not. Could some of u guys running ebay intakes let me know?

Generic SR intake pipe & Accell Kool Blue filter...
Sounds and feels a little different than the K&N filter... and a helluva lot cheaper...RIP Lifsatrip7

Actually K&N isn't the best. Gotta get APEX-i if you want the best and those filters run $60 or so.Comment

Damn ya'll, i don't know. I've never heard anything bad about them or had any bad experiences. Obviously I'm way off track here so why don't you guys just feel free to enlighten me. What do all of you use instead of K&N's then?
Is the Apexi filter reusable, same with the accel?Last edited by spdACCORDingly; 03-04-2005, 01:48 AM.Comment

apexi's nevber have to be cleaned in a lifetime...according to the company, i think.Originally posted by NutBucketComment

That seems weird to me...a filter that never needs to be cleaned. But hey, Apexi does make good shit so i wouldn't be suprised. If anybody is running an Apexi filter please let me know if this is true.Originally posted by wed3kComment

k & n isnt the best, a paper filter is the best at stopping dirt...kn filters are the balance at stopping most dirt and having more flow.
apexi is paper.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

there are blitz filters that run about 180 bucks each. Are those any better?? I dont know but I wouldn't spend that much for a filter. Fact is, during all my time of internet trolling I've never come across a filter flow test of any kind. But my guess is that a filter that flows super good probably is not filtering so good. So I think you gotta weigh your options.FS: BNIB MFactory FD $650, PM me.Comment
