Air Filter

ok im sure this has been discussed before but i wanna know what is the best air filter or pod filter (whatever you like to call it) is, which one would you gain the most HP or KW out of.
i was reading before someone said that the 3A Racing filter is good but then when these people put the filters into test the HKS gained an average of 8.5HP

but they didnt test the 3A racing filter and the the uni filter
so what gives the most KW or HP?
thanks

HKS pod gave the biggest kw gain. But the k&n pod wasn't far behind it. the power gained will also depend if its boxed in properly with a proper cold air feed.

yeah ok for example you buy a K&N filter with the K&N Apollo system thats boxed probably isnt that right?

Not really, the apollo system has a shroud around it. Could be just as effective as having an enclosed air box. As far as filters go, i recommend a k&n with the extreme top. Half the price of the hks and was also used by our prez when he was n/a. I used one of these as well and they're hard to fault for the price. Keep in mind your intake piping is where you'll notice the most difference

oh ok thanks for the info. then if i get the K&N with the extreme top i can fit that into the apollo isnt that basically the same as the enclosed air box. yeah i no, ive been looking for a ARC Air Intake also but i cant find one for sale

yep, this is what I posted up in a thread not long ago

I ended up getting the 3A racing filter and only for $30 + postage i think off ebay. The quality is very good and ive definately noticed some gains with the pod + new intake pipe and more when it is boxed.

I definitely recommend it because at the end of the day, no pod filter is going to give you substantial gains over the stock one on a NA engine but this one i believe has proven to be very cheap and effective. Sounds great too

They dont make the ARC intakes any more, hence your finding it hard to source one.

Why not grab the last UAS pipe? I was out there last week & grabbed the 2nd last one for Kaz's car.

is the last pipe in pumpkin color like Koolio?
