Which filter is "The best"

[Patch]

Looking to buy myself an air filter for the 350,and with so many on the market,which one is considered the best.

What gives the best gains and what gives the best noise?

 

 

Thanks in advance

[rtbiscuit]

Panel or induction kit.?

Which ever gives the best power/noise

Which ever gives the best power/noise

 

2 different things there. Pop charger for noise but generally panel filters are supposed to be best for gains, although more flow means less filtration.

[Patch]

So an enclosed panel filter gives better gains than a cone type filter?

 

Ne to this N/A tuning.

[Shinjuku]

Yes. Is that you phil?

[Patch]

I read that a K&N induction kit gives between 8-10bhp,is that even possible?

Was it max power that you read that in?

 

No.

No

And double no

 

You will be lucky to see anything more than 1 or 2 brake from a velocity stack and decent panel filter (k&n). Induction kit will give you immense noise but probably power loss because of heat soak.

Whats your real name patch. Are you phil?

'06 airbox/velocity stack and high-flow filter (cosworth/apexi/k&n etc).

Phil,who the F is Phil?

[Ricey]

Listen phil (as you shall be known from this day forth).....if you can get a 10 bhp increase from a CAI I'll personally administer oral relief for you.

 

In fact if you put one on and DON'T end up with a flat spot in the acceleration I'll be impressed.

 

Noise is amazing though......best bet is a JWT popcharger

Ermm

 

As Ricey said. But with a cotton/foam filter it can be washed and reused rather than just binning so it can save you money in the long run ( depending how much an air filter is )

[Shinjuku]

Not you clearly. No need to be abrupt.

Didn't intend to come across as abrupt,sorry if you felt i was

 

Everybody else,thanks for the advice.

[Shinjuku]

Might be a few of those to come. Had some problems getting the post up!

[sparky370z]

Do you want just a panel filter to replace the OEM one? Or a whole induction kit?

 

Panel filter will be better for gains, as there is no heat soak from the engine. But requires remap.

 

Induction, such as a jwt popcharger. Will sound awesome but would actually reduce power (very small) due to heat soak through the engine bay.

 

I had a popcharger on mine and was very happy with it.

[Patch]

A panel filter requires a remap?

[sparky370z]

It will require a remap to see any gains. As with any mod. As the ecu self levels to the standard BHP.

 

But its just a direct replacement, pull out the old one put in the new one. Simples

[smudgedon]

Surely an enclosed indication kit with cold air feed is the best of both worlds?

[Patch]

My Invidia duel exhaust turned up the other day,so looking to see which filter will be best before it goes off to be mapped.

How does the ecu work on these things,granted to make the most out of the mods it needs mapping to suit,but surely if you improve airflow in and out it will gain something?

Provided you can duct it up properly it should work better but you prob need to fit a nostril or some flexipipe.
