Vs Commodore Air Filter

[Modena]

I got a Ryco VS commodore air filter today, around 10 bucks. Anyone had good experience with them? Im not really down for paying 80 bucks Apexi...

Its just a standard paper element air filter. Ryco make good filters for standard applications but if you want better flow and filtration you need to get something like a cotton gauze element filter like k&n etc. They arent too expensive.

What he said, the ryco ones are pretty much a direct replacements for the stock one, no performance upgrade at all - less $.

Apexi, K&N etc. allow better air flow and your also paying for the name - more $

yeh as the others said they are pretty much a replacement for your stock filter.

thats all i use in my vr.

I think Ill stick to the Ryco filter, after all, a stock skyline air box will do a much better job with a paper filter than a silly pod that sucks in hot air.

but a highflow panel filter willb e better

That said, paper filters aer still the best filtering, i.e. best for your engine

Autospeed has tested the pressure drop across the standard paper element filter and intake on a vl turbo in the past, the air flow meter mesh was biggest restriction at like 25% of the total restriction and the paper element filter was like 1%, stuff all basically and they are the same filter as the Skylines.

At normal power levels under 250rwkw there would be bugger all power in it.

Atleast when you consider a paper element filter, filters the best as well.
