rovervi Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I know this has been discussed before but how can the HKS mushroom filters be so bad when people Fork out £180 for them. Would it be better to put 2 of them on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want an after market filter then Apexi would be your choice, as its one of the best for filteration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm whats wrong? i did say they were bad because of poor filteration, the HKS has larger pores than most other filters hence why it can suck in more crap.

wkdtime Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The only reason HKS seems to be popular is down to the fact of their brand name, see this http://www.raceweb.co.za/Articles/airfilters/induction.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 so why have most singles got hks on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-K Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 so why have most singles got hks on them? cos they just "think" there a great filter for the supra and there is a slight difference in overall engine sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
