so i was cruising ebay since i'm buying a Simota catch can, and I saw they make intakes with a velocity stack built in on the TOP!

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Universal-Simota-...item4839610174

I think this should theoretically be the BEST filter for HP..

opinions please

 

There was a thread on these not to long ago: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...velocity+stack

Go for it.

 

wonder if there are any fuel mpg boosts u can get from it?

 

Don't know if I would call that a velocity stack.
That filters mouth opens up to fast.

It should be tight with the size of the hole then roll out.
That one looks to roll out to soon in the design.
do you have a pic straght on looking at the hole or the filtration set up on the end.

 

From what Im gathering from that auction, the "velocity stack" is simply a mesh screen.

Not only that, but the 15-20whp gains are hilarious. And it doesnt say if you can clean it.

Id pick up a velocity stack from an auto parts store and then get an appropriate K&N filter for it. Its more expensive up front, but its been proven to work and and it will last longer since you can clean them.

 

obviously the HP comment is horse shit as all those BS hp quotes are. But

still doesn't mean it is not better than a conventional intake filter.. that's all i'm tryin to ask here..

not like i'm buying it asap. i'm just checking my options... my filter is 10 months old so i need a new on in not too long.

I luv a clean filter

 

Keep up the research, I need a new filter soon too LOL that one definitely looks better than the one Im running now

 

yea i got the typical one, that injen supplied.

I do not clean my filters I do not believe in cleaning them.

the way i see it once the color is gone, that means it's filled with crap.

sure u can clean the filter but it's never as good as new.. and I just love knowing i got a clean filter on there. for the 25$ it costs it's well worth it.

 

Injen claims they have a built in velocity stack inside their filter so there's has to be the best direct replacement... hell i already got an INJEN CAI, i should stick with the same brand for the hell of it... but god damn


replacement filters are expensive.


80$ at my local performance warehouse "my HEAVEN"

 

that being said

Im thinking I might go with K&N or FRAM because I know they t=have the best air flow which = more HP and you can clean them but kinda pricey

 

built in velocity stack is better than AEM imho...


and fram!?!?!? hahah i'm not paying for those stupid commercials, no way!!!

i'm sticking to my guns

we use a 3 inch filter on our cars correct?

 

I got a drop in fram air hog on my magnum RT and it seems to work well

 

it's apples to oranges bro.. obv any new fiter id gona work fine... but work the BEST, is a totally different story.

i'm debating getting the cheap canadian tire one... make by RACTIVE for 30 and save the 50$$$$

 

 

In the extensive time I've owned vehicles I've tried several different filters but my heart will always be lost to the K&N.

 

Thats what Im running now But I would like a K&N there a lil cheaper than 80 tho

 

yea but injen is as good probably, if not better. And K&N is too common imho, I like going against the grain

apparently ur supposed to change ur filter every 6 months, online so it says. who knows really, that seems crazy imho

I'm gonna do it just shy of a year at approximately 11 months and 32000kms, and even that i thought is premature. But w/e

I'll sell my "old one" for 30 to someone on kijiji.ca lol

 

So you prefer in inferior product just so you can stand out?

Do you wear Folexes and Sikes?

 

I cant believe your going to try to sell it LOL. I usually get a new one as soon as the roads are clean (end of spring)

 

lol no i dunno wtf sikes and folexes are/is.

so what filters do most of you run??

I just took a peak at mine and it's still quite red.. i'm gonna hold off a lil on putting a new one on... I'll wait till summer or something to put the new one on.. I'm gonna order the injen one in the meantime i think just so i got stock..


lol i got 14 mobile 1 filters, 1 atf filter, and soon an intake filter to go on the shelf.

I want mobile 1 synthetic to go on sale around here so i can get some STOCK too.

I like overstocked parts when it comes to my car :-)

what brand of filter do you use?? list

 

K&N filter for me. I have one on the car and one as a spare so I don't have any downtime when I switch in the one I cleaned the day before so its fully dry and oiled. My filter gets dirty pretty quick, I swap them once or twice a year....my engine likes to suck

 

Knock off rolex watches and nike shoes. I prefer romex.

 

i never figured out how these work.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...d=370334892078

do you use one at a time? does the velocity stack go inside the filter?

i dont get it

 

i dunno but Injen's filters ALL have it and it is built into the filter so there is no screwing around or anything like that. why is why I'm kinda set on the injen now..

i get attached to brands it's weird lol

 

I have an Amsoil filter on a blox velocity stack. You dont have to oil Amsoil filters, just brush them off, plus it is blue...

 

this is the built in velocity stack?

http://shop.edoperformance.com/injen...th-p-5741.html

 

what do you mean on? this is what i dont get

 

^ amsoil filters are made from nano fibers. No oil needed as filteration pores are already small. I know as I am a amsoil dealer, but I still use my K&N filters as I haven't run into any problems. The only thing I would check is the mesh wire that K&N uses. Make sure there are not any leftover from them cutting. I've seen some of the mesh wires sitting on the filter with is a big no no when it goes into the engine.

I use the oil filters and oil as I swear by them

 

The inlet of the velocity stack is 6 inches and the outlet is 3 inches. I got a filter with a 6 inch inlet and clamped it down on the end of the velocity stack.

 

pic?

 

PICs

 

there is also the upgraded blue version of the injen also

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Injen-Dry-Air-Fil...item414c65635d

^
this one is not the correct filter, it has the wrong dimensions

I'm just showing you how it's got a different composition.

 

This is quoted off http://shop.edoperformance.com/injen...th-p-5741.html

"Injen set out to develop the ultimate filter design, and they have come up with the Injen Universal Filter. After extensively testing rubber and plastic compounds they came upon a urethane rubber that is able to withstand elevated temperatures with zero distortion. Urethane is a light weight material which will not fade and will hold its shape for the life of the filter. Injen pioneered the technique of incorporating the built-in velocity stack in the filter base. Injen Technology filters have been tested repeatedly on a flow bench and on a dynomometer against the leading competition's filter elements and have out-performed them every time. Based on these test results it's no wonder that the competition has taken steps to duplicate Injens filter design utilizing their techniques in molding urethane compounds."

until I read this I didn't know they pioneers that style/design

 

like i said before the blox velocity stack screams as hell and the hp is noticable. 60 bucks filter and a removable velocity stack.

 

everyones going to have the own testing and stating theres is the best...

http://www.knfilters.com/air_filter_testing.htm

 

k&n claims you can go 50000 MILES on a filter, given good conditions.

and it's only been 20K for mine right now...

maybe I should wait and not waste my $..... on that

 

I have about 35k on my K&N, i'll probably clean it next oil change or something. I dont think you want to always keep it super clean cause then the opinions that K&N let in too much dirt starts to come to mind.

that amsoil filter is probably similar to the dry flo, no oil needed.

 

and this is taken directly off Injen's website, so I guess I do not have to replace mine for some time


How often you need to clean your filter will depend on the air and road conditions in your area. Most filters require cleaning before the dirt build up gets as thick as the wire mesh. The usual interval is 30,000 - 40,000 miles depending on driving conditions. We recommend that you check your filter about once a year in normal usage and once every six months if you are located in a dirty environment. If you are running with a cold air intake we recommend checking the filter every 10,000 vê 15,000. Using a Hydro-Shield will reduce service intervals.

 

heres how loud the intake screams on a camera phone.
