Air Filter for B-Series

[deathzone]

Which aftermarket airfilter give the best performance + loud vtec roar. Im using Hks intake and need to always change the filter element bcos it get dirty very quick...Should i remain using HKS filter and always change the element when needed or use other Brand? Pls vote and suggest...

go for open pod k&n.... make sure got DIY your own cover and channel your CAI into it....
* plus, it easier to clean k&n....

Vtec engines, i think you should go with a Mugen Carbon Fibre Airbox with a K&N air filter. Gives the best performance with good roar from the Vtec system...

Mugen airbox very rare hard to find. Anybody use ARC airbox before??

any air box can do.. its just a box to prevent hot air from entering your air filter, and letting cold air into... but mst have CAI to get better result..
but if uses ARC box, due to the big size of it, maybe needt o relocate the batteries???

y need to relocate batteries?? eg & ek models hv no problems with batt original placement.. its near the firewall on pax side.. only EF models are near the air box...

The battery is already right behind nearly touching the firewall on the left, for what relocate? :stupid:

And CAI... not needed unless your car is super hot under the hood lah, CAI in the rain also sucks in water. Friends car hydrolocked thanks to CAI and now hes scared to use it again hahaha

I just remove my cai becos water can trap inside and dun really like the hole in the bumper. I just change the whole bumper and regret putting it.

Anyway this thread is about airfilter recommendation not airbox and cai hehehe.

U guys heard of gruppe m filter? I heard its expensive and damm nice sound.

most B-series owners just use the simota "Lintah" Type, replicating from J's Racing... its cheap oso.. 200++ only.. air filter you can choose which 1 u like... HKS mushroom is expensive to maintain compared to other brands coz you need to replace the spounge over period of time.. Blitz Wire mesh openpod is the easiest to maintain n probably the lasting one.. but i dont think its filtration is good as Apex n Knn

i'm using HKS also...love the wind sound...like a airplane passing tru...but...yeah...the filter gets dirty fast...most vtec using simota...they say the big round design can reserved standby air during the vtec crossover...
