Where did you buy your panel filters?

Methodical4u · 10-21-2011, 12:44 AM

I'm looking at the AFE filters right now... what's the best place to get them? I assume the 09 and 10 will also fit 2011 correct?

Methodical4u · 10-21-2011, 12:54 AM

and... why do some of the models say 416 cfm and then the others 550? If it's the same size then wouldn't it flow the same cfm?

autoanything has them

2009 Nissan 370Z AFE Pro-Dry S Air Filters

i would call also just to make sure...they have made a few parts number changes in the last year or so that confused allot of people

31-10173 this is the part number

Just getting filters or did you decide to get the post-maf tubes as well?

MattP725 · 10-21-2011, 12:17 PM

Technically the size alone wouldn't dictate flow rate.. the material and density will also impact it but I don't honeslty know specifics about these filters.

I think i got them straight from AFE:

Air Filters Direct Fit Nissan 350Z/370Z 08-10, Infiniti* 07-10 G35/G37 V6-3.5L/3.7L 30-10173 - aFe Power

But this place has them cheaper with free shipping:

I haven't bought either as of yet... i'm pretty sure that i'm going to go with the filters, tubes, everything covered in heatshielding (no, I don't care how much it drops temps... anything is better than nothing) as well as the fang vents for more top end power.

lol, they are actually the exact same price ... thanks for the info though.. I just wanted to make sure it was the best price.

Z! has the K&N's, thats where I got mine. Not sure if they have the AFE's... Why did you choose those vs K&Ns?

LoL Don't you know the wetter the better??

harp00n · 10-22-2011, 03:41 PM

Any thoughts or facts about their filtering ability vs. stock paper? I'm a little bit worried about it, as I live in a very dusty area and also often crossing the water in the huge potholes, so it covers the whole car...

Both the dry cotton or oiled cotton materials will filter better than plain paper media. I myself live in one of the driest, sandiest climates in the states, its one of the small reasons I chose the oiled filters as it would have a better chance to get the small debris.
