High Flow Panel Filter By R2c

[mkn23]

So it's almost the end of the financial year so that means....tax return

So I'm set on a high flow cat either Fast Intentions Resonated HFC or the slightly cheaper Berk HFC.

But in regards to high flow panel filters, I was going to purchase the HKS Super Hybrid Filters (from these guys http://www.modbargains.com/hks-drop-in-filter-nissan-infinity.htm)until I ran into these R2C branded ones (from https://www.tunerzstore.com/Infiniti-G37/Infiniti-G37-Intakes/r2c-replacement-panel-filter-vq35hr-vq37vhr).

From what I've heard about R2C filters has been pretty good as they seem to have a strong history of motorsport and air filtration systems. Can anyone vouch for these R2C panel filters in particular? As I cannot seem to find any reviews or feedback about them as they are relatively new.

If I do go through with the panel filter option instead of a Takeda/GReddy CAI, I will be pairing it with Mishimoto or HPS Intake Hoses.

Cheers

Ive personally heard Berk HFC being too thinny and causing rasp...I would go with FI HFC or Resonated HFC if you have the extra dime. I personally have Stillen HFC on mine. Both of the Stillen and FI have magnaflow core and both works very well. I went with Stillen cause there was an 8 week wait for the FI when I was looking.

As for intakes, I have Stillen Gen 3 CAI with the dry filters. Their initial design came with K&N wet filters but now they sell them with dry filters as well. Love the sound of them

How's the fitment and installation of the Stillens?

I'm not keen on cutting into the car just to make it fit as the Takedas are about $100 cheaper and performance difference is marginal.

Yea the only thing about the Stillens if that you need to cut the core support by a tad. Other than that well made product and easy installation!
