KaizSi · 08-23-2007, 01:35 PM

but what kind of filter? a gauze one? foam? ive even seen some all steel mesh ones hmmm

hondasi006 · 08-23-2007, 02:11 PM

well i was thinking just another injen one. on my old car i had weapon r. that filter seemed like it was made from plastic. it never really got dirty, however i dont know how well it cleaned either

NIGHTHAWKSI · 08-23-2007, 02:14 PM

^FYI..none of the filters clean that good. after 40k miles check out the dirt in your throttle body and compare it to some one that is running a OEM filter....

hondasi006 · 08-23-2007, 02:22 PM

^thanks for the input. i am aware that they dont clean as well as oem. we were trying to discuss which filter is goin to clean more

KaizSi · 08-23-2007, 03:12 PM

i think i might give a foam filter a whirl see if it makes a difference i mean i can always just wash and reuse the injen one or get a replacement...

oem filters are you talking about the stock intake system? with them paper filters?

NIGHTHAWKSI · 08-23-2007, 03:12 PM

^ yes

KaizSi · 08-23-2007, 03:16 PM

i dont know about that them paper ones get pretty dirty pretty quick, i wouldnt mind seeing some pix of throttle body stock vs sri / cai intake

the paper one gets dirty quick because it is blocking the dirt from entering the intake....while the aftermarket ones are letting it in.
ill try to find a comparison of the 2.
here is a start:
