hks mushroom filter

[jinglebell17]

my hks mushroom filter is starting to get really dirty. i feel like im suffocating my motor

can i just spray it with a hose and let it dry to clean it or do i have to actually order the hks cleaning kit?

They probably filter better now that there's resistance rofl shrooms are death4th gear pull, shift to 5th step on it hear a small pop now i can hardly make 4psi in any gear

you can buy the replacement foam which is like 25 bucks. you dont clean the hks filter just replace the foam

Can buy a bolt on Apexi airfilter.

Good in this test -

and this is the filter test you should look at, as has CFM data (how much air the airfilter allows to get to turbo and affects hp output) -

3A racing is the top flowing airfilter, but is clamp on type airfilter that can leak if clamp is loose and cause boost / load cut problems (bolt on type airfilter like Apexi airfilter prevents this problem).

I always toss the mushroom ones.. I had a GTR suck Dirty Filter into the MAF.. it wasnt pretty..

I've tried buying 3A, no go.

Wish there was a direct replacement for the HKS filters, as in same clearance

i can order apexi, k&n, injen, vibrant, aem and some other good names through my work at cost so thats what ill do (probably a good reason why i cant order anything HKS ). thanks again for the input.

Im stuck with my shroom filters for now... Id rather get rid of them but the apexi ones wont fit, I have HKS hard piping pre turbo and the intercooler piping aswell, the HKS shroom filters are already a tight fit, Im thinking im gunna have to relocate my washer fluid bottle or something to fit different filters ... anyone else have this issue?
