What are your thoughts on K&N??? I am interested in getting an air filter for performance reasons only. I had a looka t some tests and Apex'i came out the best followed by K&N... Where can i get a filter and the care kit???

If size matters (and if you got the room to put it) you can get a truly huge K&N as opposed to the standard size Apexi filter.
Also I think the K&N's are a lot cheaper.

Just go to any 'auto' place. They should have them/be able to get them. I don't recommend supercheap though. They wanted a clear $40 more than what I paid elsewhere. I got a replacement panel filter for the beast. At the time it was $120, your $$$ will vary of course depending on what you get. As for the care kit, you should be able to get that at the place you get the filter.

From a perforance point of view, a pod filter will not do much, on its own, i have a k&n on my proton and about the best increse was the sound it lets the car make, i doubt if there would be more of a performance gain in brands though if you do not pipe up a cold air system there would be not point for a little performance gain, my opinion on k&n though it does the job for me.

i personally dont like the goo type filter.. they are very messy.
hardtoclean...compared to the K&N.. wash with water.. dry andspray on the filter liquid...
thats my experience with finer filter.. and i assume it is thew same with uniflow filters....

im using a 4inch uni filter on the ra65, awesome much better than the previous setup, very smooth, better fuel economy
i find it easy to clean just slip it off wash with mineral turpentine squeeze and re-oil out back on , thats hard ?

hey celica mad,
my father, an ex mechanic, said that it is better to wash foam filters in petrol, not turpentine.
I trust him on this one. Maybe you could give it a go.
Anyhoo,
martin
