I'm in abit of a pickle when it comes to buying the rite airfilter for my 9 , first I was looking at the HKS raceing suction but was tolled there not worth the money, so have since looked all round the Internet but every 1 says different things so not to sure what 1 will be best , I'm looking for 1 with good performance and a good noise from it .. Any help would b great thank u

I'm sure there was a review some time ago and K & N was a good all rounder. Somebody will be along shortly that might remember :)

I have a HKS filter and have no probs with it wat so ever on my 6 :)
A few others have HKS on here and K,N which are good too, just down to personal preference :)

I used to have a Bltz Sus Power filter great sound and cleanable but switched to K And N so it would fit my carbon airbox, but I haven't heard anything bad about the HKS and they are widely used with evo's;) I think as already said it's down to personal choice and looks, as I am sure the y would all be suitable performance wise.

hks dont tend to filter that well. seen build up of dust inside intake pipes which is enough to put me off, however probably the best looking and sounding.

steer clear of the APS cold air feed as they just tend to suck in water on wet days and upset the airflow meter as i found out with my old evo

If you add an induction kit would you have to remap the car as this is what I've been told and also engine won't run right?? So is this true???

it is advisable yea, only a minor tweek not enough to notice though. reason being is cos it not the extra air its the direction of airflow through the airflow meter that reads differently so best to get the fueling checked :)

When you say a minor tweak cause I've had it mapped then does that mean someone can adjust it without spoiling the map I mean just plug it in and adjust the fuel without going into the map or a full remap and how much would I be paying if it's just adjusting the fuel or air flow thanks Lee
