Best brand of hi-flow air filter

Post by Whitey »

Just wondering if any of you guys are running hi-flow air filters and which brands you think are the best. I was looking at a K&N filter(I run one in my Falcon and am quite pleased with it) but got quoted some stupidly high price for a suzuki. Suzi sport sell uni filters for my sierra for $55, do any of you use these, are they any good or are there better brands/types on the market??

Unifilters work great....had a rampod on my Feroza. Only down side is ya gotta clean it RELIGOUSLY, coz the dust WILL get through if ya don't!

Consider a pre-filter if you're gunna run one, especially in dusty conditions.

I just run a $20 autobarn special through the firewall.

Doesn't really do much for power, the engine does rev more freely, its certainly louder though.

I import American pick ups and have been doing for a number of years. We have trailled many types of filters and have found the pick of the bunch to be the K&N.

In dusty conditions it does pay to use a pre filter. Otherwise you will be cleaning it after every trip.

The power increase is minimal, however they do filter the air more efficiently. If you combine the K&N filter with a Hiclone you will gain a little more power through better air flow and fuel atomization.

and if you mate your hi-clone with a molecular fuel alligner and a polariser off a VL group A you should almost be able to drive along and use no fuel at all!
:rofl:

and drain the sump and fill it with snake oil, would double your HP!
and a 30 day money back. . . . . . ;)

Just stick any decent filter in it. Youll probably find that the biggest flow restriction is in the airbox itself anyway.
Only way to be sure is to test it.
I used to run a finer filter in my original airbox feeding the 4A-GE. I had a complete new induction made up with pod filter and it made quite a noticable difference. The original airbox was just choking the airflow into the engine.

thats not a stupid comment, because it can be very dangerous, not only backfires, etc, but fumes into cab (obviously not a problem with no roof or doors, tho) christover
