Mines - VX Air Filter
 

Hey guys,

I am looking to keep my stock intakes, because they to me are best" unless I want a lot sound coming the front of my car IMO. I am going to keep the stock intakes and build around them, I would like to see what the numbers are after all my updates.

I am looking at replacing the stock OEM air filters, I did not want to go K&N do to Oil and I feel with all the R&D now days they should not still be using oil base filters.

Does anyone have the Mines filters? also I am unable to find any specs on them if they are a dry flow or oil base like K&N.

Mines - VX Air Filter are the name 370ZTUNE.com has them listed but no specs.

Also will be doing the COBB Post MAF Hoses for smoother air flow.
;)

I wouldnt waste your money on the mines filter. Waayyy overpriced.

Well, there is not to much out there for stock replacement. If they are dry flow I would pay the money. I do not want K&N.

Looks like they lube'd up their filters too :icon17:

Any reason why you wouldn't go with K&N? You won't really gain much, if any. The stock intake is already a CAI, so I understand why you would like to keep it. For the amount the VX filters usually go by, over $350 (last time a looked a few weeks back) you could buy a long tube or replace the airbox. I was a little hesitant on using the K&N at first, but really, oil based filters are just as good as long as you know how to oil it properly. The VX also uses oil.

I'd just stick with the OEM filters if you aren't going to get a full system.

No oil performance filter. Have at it and let us know how it goes. I've run into one or two around the forum that have this and they seem happy. When I need to replace my filter, this is the direction I am going.

AFE Pro-Dry S

I think you'd be insane to pay the money they want for the Mine's filters. There is a zero percent chance they are $300+ more effective than the stock filters. The benefit of slightly boosting your performance with higher flowing filters and tubes and not installing Stillen G3's or some other long tube setup is saving the cash and time needed for install. If you're going to blow $450+ on your intake (Mine's+COBB tubes), you might as well quit screwing around and just get a complete system.

I think you should do your own DD on the K&N filters and not go by what you heard on the internet. K&N has sold over a million filters and I dont think a million cars have been screwed up by them. Just saying. But I do understand personal preference.

I have the AFE Pro-Dry filters and the Cobb Post-MAF tubes with my stock airboxes. Works great, no issues and a decent boost in kick in the higher rpms that I have noticed (nothing huge, but noticeable).

That's the setup I'm shooting for, but I'm going to milk my stock air filters for a little while longer.

am still wating for blitz to make thier for our cars, dry High flow drop ins, I ve tried looking but no luck.

At 7000 miles mine were already dirty and there was a HUGE leaf in front of my passenger side intake. Found all of that out when I put the AFEs in. Maybe I gained power since I went anti-leaf, lol :excited: Anyways, you might pull the filters and check them. Can always buy the AFEs when the others need replacing.

AFE Pro-Drys are pretty good and are about $96 shipped for two (oil free high flow dry filters). Why wait?

You can get them from AutoAnything, the link was posted previously.

I'll take a look at those man, thnx I just always had brand loyalty and never really heard of AEF
