5936 1st Gear July 14, 2012 Share July 14, 2012 I dont know, my previous SS drop in filter is almost clean all the time, even after 10K Km. At the most wash with mama lemon to remove the surface dust. K&N requires some maintenance to remove old and recoat fresh red oil. Some how, can see the dirt after 5-10K km. Sorry, make you more confused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic July 14, 2012 Share July 14, 2012 Was thinking which one to buy. Can any expert bro Pls share your experience on stainless steel air filter. Really got improve on power? SS Hurricane air filter from Avante after 50k. The air pressure sucking upwards towards the air intake permanently warped the filter, letting all kinds of dirt passed through via the sides. The centre ridge also has crack lines 2 mm wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Supercharged July 14, 2012 Share July 14, 2012 Hurricane SS filter doesn't keep the dust from entering engine, as many drivers testify that the filter is as clean as new after driving for so long. Where have the dust gone to? Into the engine lor K&N is still the better choice. Yes it traps the dust. U can see the dust. Yes it's troublesome to clean. But it's a happy problem, coz it proves that the filter is working in keeping the dust from engine K&N has been around for ages. Proven for so long. Power? It's subjective la. But it definitely reduce the low end torque and it's better in high end torque, compared to stock paper filter. It's my butt. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5936 1st Gear July 15, 2012 Share July 15, 2012 By now you would have gotten the meaning that ss =stainless steel. Its always a hard decision to make between better filtration for long term engine protection against better trottle response. I am using stock air filter these few years. Read that oiled sponge air filter is even better. But its not available for everyday cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
