Well i ordered an HKS filter a little while ago, open the box and i was surprised it didnt look like my last hks filter. so i went online to check and see if i got scammed lol. turns out HKS has a new filter on the market.

HKS Racing Suction Reloaded Kits have been developed as the leading intake system for high performance applications. Each kit features aluminum suction pipes that have been tested for optimal air flow. Included in each kit is HKS' Reloaded filter with its patented Super-Funnel and new technical advances:
- Filter cage allows for 30% more intake surface area
- Aluminum back plate for added strength
- Sealing ring reduces contaminants from entering engine
- Dual Density wet filter element

heres pics i took of it. looks like it will filter better than the last one i had.

its just a filter. nothing more and nothing less. even the stock paper ones that come with our cars, work fine. the only benefit to the HKS one is the size and the cool look. i just hope it didnt cost a few hundred dollars or anything. even the apexi is an over priced ripoff.

actually i think the filter actually does affect performance and not just filtering . i mean a filter all works as filtering dust and dirt etc.. but also affect the amount of air being sucked in. being too restrictive it'll have less amount of air being sucked in... so a good filter not only allows good amount of air being sucked in but also filters good amount of dust, which makes the APEXi filter superior over others. i have both the apexi power intake filter and HKS filter and i personally think the HKS filter allows more air to be sucked in but also more dust as well. APEXi doesn't suck in as much air like HKS but still a good amount, but filters better than HKS.. but yea... both filters are some expensive sh*t..
