HKS Panel filter question!

[Matts]

Just got myself a HKS panel filter the green foam one just wandering if i will notice any gains when using this with my n/a? or are they specially for the turbos only, hoping its up there with the k&n ones?

its just a car wash sponge cut in a square shape imo....k&n is way better should have got one of them

Being foam you probably want to oil it. The oil collects any dirt and dust.

not sure if the panel filters are the same as the mushrooms or sock filters but they both need regular cleans and re-oils

K&N is proven to work well on our cars, HKS haven't worked as well as other filters in tests

its a dry type of filter, it has very open cell structure not like piper cross etc which have very tight cells and can be oiled....it should be discarded and replaced with a new element not cleaned

at best it will stop small stones entering the inlet

The filter was cheap buddy so i can always go down the k&n route once i have purchased the manifold monday thanks for this information!

Damn thanks for this information also buddy i had k&n previously on my old starlet but sold it with the car so looks like i will maybe get a k&n again for this in replacement for the hks just seemed that on my old starlet with the k&n it seemed to use loads of fuel

Mine definitely uses less fuel on K&N Panel than my old cone, and that's with a heavier foot
