The description on that website seems interesting.... this thing is expensive though. About $146 USD. Also, where do you buy the filter oil and cleaner from? Europe also?

Do the benefits outweigh the costs? Have you compared this to the K&N? Seems like when the websites I come across run tests, they do not do prolonged tests. The filter, no matter what kind, will act differently once it has had about 500 miles of use. It will have built up a layer of dirt at that point, which not only changes the flowrate, but affects further filtration as well.

A test, if one exists, which simulates 1000+ miles of usage, to see who has the best filtration and flowrate at the end of the day, will be a much more ac curate test than spending 30 seconds sucking in dirt.

 

pm mptuning. I think he still sells the sprint filter. It's the one I had before I bought the spoon. It's another wash/dry filter that doesn't require any oiling and is supposed to offer good filtration as well as better flow. I think they were under $50 too shipped iirc.

 

Washable dry guaze will not filter well. Has to be made very well for it to do its job without the oil trapping the dirt (which is why the Apex'i is so expensive).

Currently I'm leaning towards the K&N unless someone can convince me otherwise that the Comptech is better (they both cost about the same).... the JR looks promising but is kinda pricey and I can't find any comparisons online for it. Spoon is too expensive too. It's actually exactly like the comptech but has more surface area.. but $250 for an air filter is rediculous.

 

The Spoon ones may be pricey but it definitely is made from superior quality. The foam doesn't disintegrate like those Trust ones after you wash em.

 

I decided to take a stab in the dark and I bought a filter called Green filter. It's like the K&N but is made of different materials. Alot of WRX/STi guys in Europe use them, so I decided to try it out. I should be receiving it soon.
