apexi pod = best
hks pod = worst

they don't call them 'rockcatchers' for nothing

Get the K&N one, just don't go spastic with the oil when you put it in. You only really need to do it once anyway....
Ahh really? in the Uk everyone uses em just because of the power gains they give over the likes of apexi and k&n etc etc

I have seen the differance with em when they have been on the rollers swapping filters over on the same car to see what gains can be had off differant makes of filter. and ther hks ones always come out on top

3 days tops as its mailed to you. The key is to make sure Troy sends it straight away and gives you a tracking #.

I have a HKS panel filter and have no adverse issues relating to it or sand getting in Phizzle

more flow = less filtration = more power, but for how long gezza? great if you only drive around on a track and rebuild your engine every 10,000k's, in real world scenario's where people want to get 200,000 k's out of an engine i think a little less power is a small sacrifice for engine longivity

edit: sorry i seem to have speared off on the hks pod filter hate campaign, i know nothing of the hks panels

Like I said, good for power, shit for filtration. Might as well put a sock over the compressor housing inlet and be done with it
