Civic EG

Need yall opinion here:
As the topic say which is better HKS or K&N filters cuz those are the two i got my eyes on..
im talking bout flow, HP increase, better in the long run

THE HKS


THE K&N

Well I'v always been a fan of K&N great flow increase HP and better gas milage I have kit 57-3504 made for my model civic looks great and sounds awsome I havent heard much about HKS so I cant help you there here is the link to my filter

here is a old pics on my engine bay with the Kit in it, dont worry my engine bay is much cleaner now

HKS suck
The K&N you postet is way to expensive.

My adwise is get an Integra box with a K&N droppin filter. Best bang for the buck.

and no open filter under the hood is good it only sucks hot air!

HKS suck huh? damn i bought it a few hours before reading this
well since i have it already i'll try it out then I'll know forsure cuz i was using a K&N before..
about the integra drop in box dont the box have a Hole at the bottom for the filter to breath? so isn't it still breathing in hot air? I think thats why aftermarket cone type filters were made"I maybe wrong on this" don't knoe
but i'll make a Heat shield jus like i did for the K&N and see how it goes.
will post a pic 2moro after im done

You have to conect a tube to the ITR hole and route it under your bumper.

So your saying its better if I just put my stock air box back in ? and wouldnt it be better if I did the tube thing to the stock air box ?

i had already bought the HKS so i jus went ahead and instaled it

IMO it breaths alot better than the K&N but you don't get the cool sound the K&N makes when you throttle "twarp" twarp".
im satisfied with the performance, we'll jus have to waite and see bout Durability

AEM dryflow filter is the best by a wide margin.

Hey Suspendedhatch are you suggesting I should replace my K&N setup for a AEM short ram instead ? would there be any real difference between the filters ?

no just the filter. the aem dry flow filter you dont have to oil. so in the long run its better.

That, and K&Ns get your throttle body and intake manifold dirty because the oil on the filter seeps through it.

I was thinking about getting this one.

If the link doesn't work it's a INJEN Cold Air Intake RD1520P.

Any thoughts ?

CAI is alwas good when you drive in a dry climate.
