Maintenance: Just change my Air-Filter

[BlackSamurai]

I changed my Air-Filter after I came back from Mr.Lee warehouse.
But I realise few different thing between my old and new air filter.

dartango, I know, K&N is the answer , but I want to try to use the stock for the time being, coz just change other thing that day. Haha

Ok, after reading the packaging, work still
Took the old Air-Filter out, spotted something different

Side-by-side comparison, this is not optic illusion, my old air-filter is smaller than the new 1. (Top)

And then i realise few differences between the 2,
a) not Centre support bar for the old 1

b) No part no. printer on old air-filter

C) no side marking

air-filter is more or less a industry standard, so my old air-filter might be a immitation or air-filter for other car.

I haven't drive the car on street after I change the air-filter, so can't tell the different now.

Get yourself a try, dartango (from HMS) and wengfhai (from james) using it right now If I'm not mistaken.

 

[dartango]

Yup..Good price. Price is without Air Filter Recharger Kit (Inquired few months ago & can get at RM60 @ Speedworks). If you travel to Spore, can get even cheaper S$90 (Air Filter) & S$20 (Air Filter Recharger/Cleaner Kit) from Speedworks Spore.

wwshyue, trust me, it look even worst if I didn't turn on the camera flash and change the contrast on the old filter pic.

 

[dartango]

BS, K&N AirFilter (RM225) is without Cleaner Kit (RM65). You may want to read the mssg again. It is clearly stated.

 

[BlackSamurai]

i think you are right, dartango. i'm too greedy.

[Ace]

I heard there are cases of the sponge in the HKS filter got suck out bits by bits after long usage and when into the manifold and engine. Damage caused? you can imagine what already.
