A few weeks back I pulled my air filter out to take a gander, and I held it up to the sun and saw several small holes in the filter, as if someone had taken a pin needle to it? When I cleaned the filter about year and half ago it didn't have the these holes before or after the cleaning... And now there is a small amount of dirt through out the intake pipe and i'm sure on MAF as well.. Anyways...I was just going to replace it with a Nissan filter and be done with it, but I thought that I would give another aftermarket filter a shot. So far these are ones I have found that I might consider using.

Has anyone used any of the above filters and liked them? And might there be other filters out there that you guys are using??

 

I got a JWT Popcharger, never used the Drop Ins beside what came with the car like a Fram, but that Apexi one looks like it will work well though....Good Luck....

 

I thought about the Popcharger, but I really don't care for the look of a cone filter...

 

Your not going to be popping your Hood Daily, I might get the R2C Filter though heard they Flow way better than the JW Filter the Blue one....

 

Never heard of R2C!! Looks like a decent system!!

Here's more info on the HKS.

Words don't describe how good that filter is. Oh and its also HUGE. Supposedly what the military uses on the abrahms tanks

 

arent K&N lifetime warranty? i would see if they'll give you a replacement

i got a K&N out of a junkyard 3rd gen and ran it for a while and had no problems

 

I've had my K&N drop for a while in my Max and 5thgen Lude with satisfaction. Some people expect too much from an air filter...

 

U lucky bastard. Lol

 

I also have a K&N on my 5.5 gen. Gotta get another pop charger for it and the 3rd gen.

 

call up K&N and see if they will give you another one. for some reason the stillen one rubbed on something and it wore a slight hole in the filter. called up K&N and they shipped out a new one ASAP.

otherwise stay with the OEM filter.

 

I will not be contacting K&N for a possible replacement filter as I have always had the idea of a "serviceable" filter being sketchy. Now that I found this I will be using a one time use filter as they seem to do their job more effectively.

Definitely leaning towards the Cosworth or the Nissan filter.
