Anyone using the Spectre Performance 884309 hpR Air Filter?
Thoughts or opinions about this filter and does it actually fit. Seems to be better priced than the K&N filter. Any mpg increase?

With this note popping up on the Amazon website I would stay away from it.
"We need more information to verify that this product fits your specific 2009 Nissan Maxima". I bought the K&N and I know that it fits correctly and actually believe the performance gains they claim. Not to mention the warrantee |

FYI...I purchased some cabin air filters from Amazon with the statement saying they would fit my 2010. After taking the stock filter out it wasn't even close to the same size. Had to send them back. |
Personally I'd only buy high quality filters from a brand name like K&N. Cheaper filters usually means cheaper materials and you don't want bits of material from a cheaply made filter being sucked into your engine. It's not that much more money I'd just go K&N honestly bro

I have an K&N drop in filter and I did notice the engine having a sightly louder rumble when I accelerate... As far as gas, I only seen a 1-2 mpg raise. For performance, none... still drives the same... I got my K&N filter from Advanced auto parts BTW...

I would like to hear more about the AEM oil free performance filter.

Spectre is based out of Cali... They're featured on PowerBlock a bunch (although it could just be a sponsorship) so they're probably decent.
cheap Chinese knockoffs of K&N??? Come on. At least know what you're talking about. |
As far as knowing what I'm talking about why don't you check this out before flapping your jaw....
On November 1, 2011. K&N Engineering, Inc. prevailed in a lawsuit for false advertising and unfair competition against Spectre Performance, pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Eastern Division) before the Honorable Virginia A. Phillips, United States District Judge. K&N is the inventor of cotton gauze high-flow air filters and continues to manufacture its products in Riverside, California. Spectre is an importer of Chinese-made cotton fiber and cotton gauze air filters similar in appearance to K&N’s air filters. http://www.knfilters.com/news/news.aspx?id=3631 |
In my face...
like I said, they seemed decent but I didn't say they weren't cheap knock-offs. I wasn't buying it so I went off what I knew. It sounded like you were just saying they were knock-offs before researching and knowing that they were. Carry on. |
