HKS drop ins

I almost ordered them but after MC showed me a few pictures (how they are not great at filtering dirt), I just stayed with OEM.

hks is reusable.
Its a little lose but i haven't had any complains from the G37 comunity which uses the same exact filter.

If you guys want an alternative:

AFE makes the pro-dry s filters also. They are also reusable and has OEM fitment.

here's some pictures and the link to our website if anyone wants to order

yeah i mean you can buy sheets of the foam from HKS and cut new squares but the actual set of filters you buy arnt reusable in the sense K&N's are.. ive been through 3 sets of the HKS in 2 years.. that foam gets real washed out looking and almost brownish

i myself still run them even though showed you that but i swap them out like every 5K miles or something.... i dont think they are bad for the car or anything but a few tests have shown that the foam isnt as good as the paper OEM as far as filtration... they of course breathe better as they are so much thinner...i wouldnt say they add any "real" HP... i just use them because i have HKS exhaust parts and just happen to like the brand....

so i wouldnt tell anyone not to get them and i would probably run them over an oiled filter... but honestly OEM is gonna be fine and if you want something more than that might as well get a short ram cone intake system

nismo japan used to make drop in dry filters for the 350z.. they were like 20% more free flowing but were expensive .. i paid like $100 for a set of paper filters with a nismo logo on them.. havent kept up with them to see if they have any for a 370
