Im new to this (as youll know by my other postings)
can i replace my air filter in the standard box, with another, with out cutting or getting rid of the standard box?
If i do will it give me any better performance
or just sound better
Next who makes them and supplies them .
i know i should probably get a full kit but everyone is at handbags between whats best so im totally lost plus dont have a clue how to fit them.

Just keep the standard one by the sound of it. Its unlikely that you can do what you are asking
If you do want to swap just get an HKS Blitz or Quickshift Ind bolt on, change it in about 15mins so it not much hassle to do.

U can get a K&N direct replacement element.
Take a look here http://forum.hondarevolutions.com/viewt ... +ctr#22739 for a review of it.

get a quickshift - larkspeed do them for about £100.00

simple to fit, keep exisitng box for when car serviced etc

and cheap enough not to break bank

[TheRedBaron]

is there much a difference between the K&N and quickshift
or should i be considering Blitz and HKS?

[Redcap]

Price, Performance, Sound or filteration? what's your preference?
Take yer pick.

other mate has Blitz
We are all pleased with the results

Have you seen any filteration test results on the the different filters?? And what were the results?

The results of various tests have shown that the following filters perform in this order.

1. Blitz Sonic - Cotton Gauze - Best
2. Quikshift - Stainless Mesh Gauze
3. HKS - Foam - Worst

There is a thread somewhere highlighting a test of these type of filters.

What about KN. No one seems to be fitting them to the CTRs. Is there any particular reason?

The info i gave can apply to any manufacturer, the test i was refering to is that Cotton Gauze has shown to be the best, with Foam being the worst.

[Redcap]

AEM and K&N were the best in the test for filteration, the K&N was the best.
Think it's just jap car owners would rather go for Blitz n HKS for their motors?

That looks something I might need soon...

Out of interest - when you fit a new air intake do you have to upgrade anything else along with it?

Or can you just upgrade the intake and off you go?

Cheers.

[JPS3290]

Just upgrade the intake and off u go. Any optionals like heat shields or extra ducting to provide more cold air while on the move is your choice.
