My new HPS post MAF tubes installed

NYBladeZ · 03-02-2011, 11:43 AM

Just ordered my set of tubes, are the AFE dry filters better than their oiled mesh filters? Their website states that the mesh oiled has a higher cfm.

To the best of my knowledge, the dry only outperform when they are caked with dirt.

That said, differences should be faily minimal either way.

but is it true that neither will perform as well as the original paper filder in terms of preventing the contaminants from entering your engine? I read some comments on U Tube and some people noticed a lot of durts entering their intakes...Could these people be the anti_K&N or the truth?

HPS tubes are on back order again, anyone know what the average wait time usually is?

According to the people I have talked to, they are about 2-3 weeks out.

No, I think that the major advantage of paper is that they are adequate on all fronts and inexpensive. I think the oiled cotton and synthetic medias all filter as well or better tho'.

Foam does a crappier filtration job, however. Flows well, tho'.

Hey guys mine should be here tomorrow. I actually ordered 2 of these. I'm going to try selling it locally but if it doesn't sell then I will ship it out for $90 includes shipping.

got mine and installed today. driver side took me 10min by taking off the entire intake, however the passenger side took me about 30min. the nismo strut bar's extra reinforcement makes it a complete b**** to get. i spent 20min wrestling with the tube to get it over the throttle body! however, after a while i finally started it up with no noticeable increase in sound, nor any SES lights...wooo!

too bad its raining, therefore no test drive for at least a week :\
