pjf1985 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Please don't flame me as this is just a thought but has anyone tried using a cheapo air filter on the end of their standard pipe? Was considering getting one of these cone or mushroom filters to replace the existing box and panel filter... http://www.autosiliconehoses.com/silicone-hose-shop/air-induction-filters/performance-air-induction-filters.html They also have heat shields too... http://www.autosiliconehoses.com/silicone-hose-shop/ash-accessories/air-filter-heat-shields.html Your opinions please...

AliveBoy Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 A cone like that won't attach to the MAF as you won't have a mounting plate like the one in this thread: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81516-parts-for-sale/ The filter also may not be of the best quality, remember, this filter stops your car inhaling horrible dust etc so a decent one is highly reccomended Quote
Rock_Steady Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 What Aliveboy said. Of course they will filter crap out to a degree but from other posts I've read on here, you're better off with a panel filter in regards to power and keeping crap out. Quote

This. ....Or just stump up the cash for a decent intake kit if that's what you're after. Plenty available from CS and Tarmac. Quote
Lexx Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I've known cheap filters to start to break down, which results in your car ingesting the material it's made from. Not a good scenario. 1 Quote
pjf1985 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Ok thanks for the input guys, was just an idea. Will probably go with a JWT Popcharger when I have the monies Quote
