Decent air filter?

[Far2lively]

Looking for some recommendations on a decent induction kit?

 

Thanks

For panel filter, I'd go K&N or Cosworth.

 

For open cone filter, I'd go JWT. No real sense in spending any more, as you're only losing power and sucking in hot air.

Wouldn't have an open cone on the Z, go for the 06+ airbox and a panel filter. Tried and tested

Flyboy is currently selling his '06 air box mod kit, there's a group buy at the moment

Best quality panel filter I've seen so far.

stick with oem box/filter otherwise your;

 

- pulling warm air from the engine bay

- pulling parts of the filter into the block as it disintegrates with age (my experience)

 

air filters are disposable/cheap...

Would you not even use a performance panel filter then?

 

Surely you would benefit from an uprated panel filter, especially if you are having it mapped?

 

(I personally have no experience with uprated panel filters btw, but have been thinking of upgrading)

You use the 06 airbox with an uprated panel filter (dry type is best like a hks)

no because they are reusable and prone to damage in my experience

 

you end up sucking particles from the filter into the engine block

Don't talk such twaddle. A decent panel filter is easy on a par with the OEM one in terms of filtration.

Or way better, cost it's always the problem in mass production. You just need to hold the OEM in one hand and an uprated filter in the other hand. Build quality is night and day.

yep, agree (never mentioned filtration) - only difference is that

 

YOU DON'T REUSE THEM

I've got a Pipercross dry panel air filter with a velocity stacker. As many have said a better upgrade for a pony or two, cone filter for noise.

[Oggieteepo]

Panel.

 

Cosworth for me.

agree with this totally, waste of money, go with oe type,

[Ekona]

Depends on what you want to achieve though, doesn't it?

 

I know I lost power with the JWT, but the extra noise was far more important to me than 1-2bhp I'd never feel.

[mdunbar]

Interesting discussion. My car came with a cone filter on it. Should I revert back to a panel filter before getting the car remapped (next thing on my list)?

[Ekona]

Depends, do you want 2bhp or a better noise?

[mdunbar]

I'm more interested in the health of the motor than either of those things

[garygranite]

has anyone got itg panel filter? I had one in celica was happy with it...

Makes no odds then, as long as it's a decent brand

Standard intake with HKS filter...
