Best air filter

[Glanzacoley]

Right I have a choice of two air filters one is a genuine blitz sus £200+ & the other is a £7 jdm green one I prefer the look of the cheap one but I want to know if the blitz one will see me more gains or be better for my car

Looking for opinions or reviews of both

Any help appreciated many thanks

More r&d has went into the blitz sus than the fake bit of foam I'd go with the blitz every time

Genuine blitz aka are you insane...lol

As said above the blitz has more likely to have more R&D put into it so will be the better option. Besides foam filters are shit and don't do what their supposed to do.

However I'd still opt for a K&N over anything on the market.

Mighty car mods talk about power...with the fake filter you have the risk that the filter will be eat by the turbo and damage the blades

HKS one's are the best imo real easy to change much less hassle to maintain they fit snug with the civic rads.

K&N without a doubt.

No foam filter is the best, the clue is in the name what an air FILTER is supposed to do. Foam is a pourus material therefore does not filter. Yes it may flow quite well because the foam has large holes in it, but spend less on a K&N and have a filter that filters and flows.

One of the main tuning company's in Japan must be wrong...K&N are great I do agree I have also heard good things from ram air and green cotton.

It's called marketing and sales men making people believe that their product must be the best because it has HKS written on it. Another thing is that foam is dirt cheap and can be formed into any shape you want very easily and quickly. Probably costs them like 10p and sell it to people for £100+ making huge profits.

I know a lot of race teams use either ITG or K&N filters, those including F1 engine suppliers.
