Gainzy Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I have the monster motorsport behind the grill kit, for a new filter its £55 posted! Surely there is a cheaper filter than that around... Quote
Arnold Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 You can buy much cheaper ones on eBay etc, but buy cheap, buy twice. Some fake / crap ones may disintegrate or filter poorly and clog your intake up with crap Quote
ep-beast Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I HAVE A BRAND NEW HKS ONE IM NOT USING 50 POUND POSTED Quote
Gainzy Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 The hks one's won't fit right between the standard radiator....Arnold have you seen the quality of the monster one's....they really aint that good, anyone used green cotton one's or have a link to the same shape filter as the monster one's?

StuDoc 72 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Are you mental??? £55 for a full relocation kit is peanuts!!! You clearly havent compared prices. Personally if I were you I would make my own and use a decent filter like apexi or HKS. Mines is an HKS Mushroom. Bought an ASH 90 degree bend off the turbo. Then a 10cm alloy pipe then a 70mm to 52mm silicon reducer. £9.50 for 90degree bend £5 for alloy pipe £7.50 for reducers iirc all from ASH. Which are the best about these days. Plus £70 or whatever an HKS mushroom costs. Puts £55 into perspective. Edited May 17, 2013 by StuDoc 72 Quote
Amjad Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 £55 is okay, costs about £30 to price the pipes and clips alone before a filter Quote
Gainzy Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 Stu its £55 just for the filter! I was gunna wait n get a civic radiator when I change all the coolent next winter then look at a HKS cause there will be alot more room, I could cut the piping but the the filter will be buried behind the radiator...

StuDoc 72 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Sorry mate I assumed that was for the relocation kit fuck that shit. Get an HKS mushroom it offers the largest surface area with it being front facing and also causes the air to be forced in directly. Also you can change the filter foam when its dirty rather than having to clean it. Quote
Gainzy Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 Haha mesh, fook that want nee crap in the engine suppose I could squash a hks behind must be tight fit am sure al manage Quote
StuDoc 72 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I can take a pic of how my hks is fitted if you are unsure? Quote
Rosso321 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Crw developments do a blitz rep filter with relocation kit looks good and not to expensive. Quote

No I haven't seen them. I've got an Apexi on mine crammed in the front with custom pipework. I'd much rather DIY than buy a kit that's not gonna fit Quote
Addymk2 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Just measure the end of the relocation pipe, any air filter brand from Jetex to K&N do universal filters that will fit it mateOn a side note, why are you replacing it? Did they fob you off with a shitty 'Drift' filter aswell? As appose to the Green one they advertise Edited May 17, 2013 by Addymk2 Quote
ep-beast Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 HAVE HKS FOR SALE IF YOU WANT BRAND NEW NEVER USED 50 POUND POSTED Quote
Addymk2 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 They may well have HKS filters for sale, but are they the right ID for the diameter of the relocation kit? And as the monster one sits at 90 degrees is it even going to fit? Most of the air would blow past a HKS filter anyway they are shaped like pancakes lolTBH I'd pick a cotton gauze over foam any day of the week. Quote
