We sell hurricane filters at work (works auto) for $35.00 . Steve at SST has dyno tested them and found they outflowed the big name brands.

They also filter quite well. Also instead of cleaning them you just throw them out and buy a new one.

MIC33R: doesn't the Trust one annoy the crap outta you? I've got one and it just gets a little... sneezy for my liking. Plus everyone who rides in my car asks "what is that wooshing in your engine? It sounds like a small child..."

In terms of filtering, i would assume that all foam ones will not filter as well as the oiled ones, period. The oiled ones will catch more of the small particles and hold them. If you agitate the foam ones the small particles can 'sift' through the filter, and as Roy mentioned his impeller seems a bit worn. Additionally, i would think that the more noise it makes the less restrictive it must be and the more fine particles must be getting through. My last car had a massive K&N on it, and i think it sounded meaner - more of a baritone induction bark. If i wasn't a tight arse and thought any money now should be spent on other go-fast bits, i'd change the Airnx for a K&N.

Ronin, It annoyed me heaps at first, but then I grew to love the noise. It's the loudest pod I've EVER heard by far. Mine doesn't do the sneeze thing though, my new bov seemed to stop that. So it is purely an induction noise now. It's a bit of an acquired taste. Everyone who rides in it always says it makes the car sound fast.

Small child LOL

all i can say is you get what you pay for, I doubt the $40 dollar item has a internal bell mouth or dual density foam.

I won't argue with you over that, but after pulling both apart they are identical. as you said though the foam may be questioned, i don't know what dual desity foam looks like so i can't tell. the trust one i compared it to has been oiled on the inside, hard to say

I'm in the market for one aswell....

getting confused, too many to choose from. I think i'll go with the apexi, imported....

Well guys, thanks for all of the imput. I have ended up going the way of a huge K&N, measuring up 150mm flange by 150mm long, tapering down to 127mm. In all it will bolt straight onto my existing Blitz mounting bracketry. Cousting $150 from bursons. I gues you pay for what you get in the end.

Cheers,
