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.

but its still just a filter. they are made to allow air to pass through and trap dirt. almost any filter is big enough to allow more air to flow through it then what your turbo could ever suck in. i dont think it would create any type of bottle neck in your system that slows you down. everything else you read is just marketing to make you think that your getting something more the just foam or cotton when you spend some crazy amount of money on them.

wat you said ain't wrong. but why i said wat i said is cause i tried to see how much air are allowed to pass through by using a small fan and try blowing at them and a small strip of paper taped at the outlet to see how much it moves. but everyones got their own opinions on how important a filter is to them. eh.. some people wouldn't even want a filter
