Just Ordered HKS Hybrid Filters

johncy2000 · 10-08-2012, 02:41 PM

Hey guys. Has anybody had any experiences witht the HKS Drop-ins? Is it a cartridge or just the filter itself? Any noticable differences? Thanks guys.

its just a foam filter. i was weary of them simply because there were reports of the foam wearing out after a while and possibly being sucked into the engine.

once i read that, i promptly ordered K&N/AFE dry filters

Ya I only plan on running them for a couple of months before I get my Gen 2 Intakes.

I wouldn't bother. Just save up and swap to the Stillen intakes.

Any reason you're not going with long tube intakes, a la Gen 3's?

i dont think there are any issues with hydro lock with the gen 3's..or is it because the nismo is lower?

This mod is a must do if you are looking to swap out the paper filters. The powerband is way smoother and it feels faster than before.
