K&N or GREEN induction

[Clio_Bus]

Which 1s best#?? for SOUND & and power?

Theyre basically the same...

Both use the same cotton type filter material, so noise & gains will be very similar, only the looks & price to make you choose really.



For more induction noise, go for a foam filter element such as a Pipercross.

pipercross

foam filters are quieter than cotton gauze.....

id go for Green over the 2 basically because of there construction, because K&N use a kind of glue around the edge, this seeps a bit into the filters edges and loses you some surface area....

Green dont use this and you get maximum surface area, there also usually cheaper

as said before though, both will be very similar

I disagree mate and its the opposite in my experience.

i had a k&N on my old valver sounded very loud

Out of the 2 I d go for K&N, had a green induction kit before and after about 2 months its shape was warped by the heat, now I use a Jap induction kit with stainless steel mesh and its great! oh and you dont even need to oil it!

take it you use the HKS mushroom, the only problem with these is they let alot of air in and some dust particles due to their construction, big peformance gains but reduced protection for the engine.

sorry not HKS, but a Ys Corporation (Jap specialize in reno mods)

HKS - proven power loss on the Integra Type R. Power down to 177 at the fly - replaced the standard air box and it came back to 191. I was shocked to say the least. Maybe needed a re map to work with the filter - very big surface area.
