Jeff Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 The ever lasting question What air filter do you use? Why? Best filter? Oem or cone?Opinions, suggestions, preferacnces, what do you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 ITG. High flow. High filtration, EXTREMELY lightweight (good if your intake tube doesnt have a support bracket. ) Of all the filters i have seen. Itg has the best bellmouth transition internally. And besides. Its what racecars use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narcosis Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I run a DCI setup from BMS, the filters appear to be oiled K&Ns. Next time I will do more homework first and use non-oiled filters, much happier downstream sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I had a K&N CAI, awesome noises! Sold it to a guy from Madison, I am not sure what I will replace it with, but this thread may help me decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Narcosis. Check out S&B filters. I was happy with what i saw and close to trying one out before i found the right ITG Arg. Just checked their site and i see pink. They used to only have non oiled white gauze iirc. Maybe they are buried somewhere within the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Cheap eBay= awesome how many companies are there that actually make the filter for the filter companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 All the ebay filters i have seen have little to no transition from the head of the filter to the neck of it Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhundley Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've had a kamotors Carbon cold air intake for a few months but I haven't installed it. I've been really lazy lately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've had a kamotors Carbon cold air intake for a few months but I haven't installed it. I've been really lazy lately! The good thing about the kamotors setup is that it fits, something ive found to be extremely hard to do without relocating the abs pump. It also has the canister for a heat shield which saves a lot of grief trying to get something that looks an its good. Its a good little unit but if i still had mine i would find a comparably sized k&n to replace the filter it comes with. One thing that people arent aware of is that kamotors doesnt actually make them. They are your run of the mill alibaba wholesale lot item. Not saying thats good/bad/whatever but a lower price on the same setup can be found whilst scouring ebay. Its hard to beat for something that looks and sounds and actually fits good in a stock e30 engine bay. It has acceptable radiuses on the neck transitions. I recommend it for the e30 but on a performance build where every last hp and micron of filtration count id go for oiled foam substrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I traded a set of honda wheels I got for free from work so I can't complain. I couldn't justify spending that much money on a air filter.
