I've always thought that a CAI will give a few more ponies than a short ram but it's tough to tell without a dyno, I don't usually like to go by what the manufacturer says.

quoted from hks website

"The Racing Suction Reloaded intake series utilizes HKS’ high-flowing wet 2-layer dual density polyurethane filter element for applications looking for the absolute in performance. The Racing Suction Reloaded intake kits offer the same simple and easy filter element replacement process as previous generations; avoiding the need to wash or re-oil the intake filter."

My understanding of the difference between CAI and Short Ram is:

Short Ram: Good for HP Now, less distance for air to travel

CAI: HP for Later, lower IAT's

That's what my reading has led to.. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Are these filters lifetime just needing washing, or do I eventually need to get new filters all together?

:icon18:RE-READ post #18

The HKS filters are washable so essentially "Lifetime", nice researching on your guys part.

Assumed that meant, you get a new one when it runs out, not that you wash and reuse... my mistake.

Can I get a PM on the price please?
thanks

Pricing being sent! :happydance:

What is the filter efficiency?

I haven't had that one asked yet

I can see if HKS has an answer for that one. I know its much more efficient than factory.

Yes please!

Sent them an email...

do you need to cut part of the engine cover for this? Looks like the forward portion of the cover is missing in that pict? :confused:

Not that I am aware of

hey bro i got a pm from you on 9-14 with your special prices.. did they change? i just took a quick peek on ebay and the hks intakes can be had for cheaper on there.. why are these intakes so damn expensive? lol.
