Any suggestions and comments on what filter upgrade I should go with for the stock ITR set up and what the benefits are for that particular filter upgrade. People have mentioned Spoon and K&N, anybody have any experience in these two filters, or the Comptech Filters, or any other filter upgrades. Thanks in advance for your suggestions and opinions.

 

Can't go wrong w/ the K&N, it's cheap, durable, flows well, and it has a 1,000,000 mile warrenty. I don't know that I'd use the Spoon wouldn't trust my engine to a foam filter.

 

K&N, Comptech are both good.

 

Your topic says intake...your post says filter. Which one is it? You upgrading the filter on the stock intake or you want to upgrade the whole intake system. I would do a K&N for just a filter upgrade or a AEM for a intake upgrade(which comes with a K&N filter)

 

My bad, I should have been clearer, it should read stock intake filter upgrade, just the filter upgrade. Thanks for the all the suggestions and information.

 

Mugen has a really good drop in air filter. But for the price I would just do the K&N.

 

ive heard that the spoon filter is good, but i dont know if it makes any real performance differences, or is just for the name

 

None of them are really gonna make a heck of a lot of difference in performance, my suggestion would be to get the easiest one to clean, that being foam, either the comptech or the spoon. I have the comptech and have found that the spray cleaner and oil they give you is a joke to use, and the filter cleans efortlessly. I think the rumors that were spread about foam deteriorating were about the cheaper intakes on the maket that were make out of cheap plastic rather than the ones that are ussualy sold by the likes of Spoon and comptech.

Any way, they're all fine, I guess which ever you decide will be more than adequite,

I've looked at the stock cone filter element and it's a nice, open element and flows air well. Why bother with a drop-in filter? Seems like a waste IMO. I'd just use the money towards an AEM cold-air or a Comptech Icebox.

 

Yeah, I'll go with that, the only up side I see, is to save money on repacement filters down the line, and even then, for the price, it's not much of a savings...
