[Mk2] [Turbo] HKS foam filter
Hi all. I have a HKS foam induction kit which has probably been on for years. It's starting to look a bit discoloured now. Is it possible to clean the filter or do you have to change it?
Cheers.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HKS foam filter
you can buy replacements for them - the older style one was a great filter for letting everything in - it wasnt much of a filter.

^^^ what he says, as far as filtration goes you'd be better off with an old sock.I have one on my N/A and i'm not impressed by the amount of crap this thing lets in and its the
'newer' HKS SPF 'reloaded'.nikk1877 says
- dont bother with a replacment foam element, just get a new filter and preferably not HKS.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HKS foam filter
I've got the HKS filter fitted to my NA (previous owner put it on there).
I picky my new tubby up in a couple of weeks, and a new filter will probably be one of the first mods.
I was thinking of getting the Apexi(unless anyone knows a filter that comes with a purdy polished induction pipe included in the kit!)

HKS Racing suction kit does?
Filters
HKS are rubbish, you will find grit n stuff in the intake tract for sure.
Anything even the cotton ebay specials do a better filtering job than HKS filters.
Anything is better basically, personally I think K&N do the best filteration and provide good airflow for the cash.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HKS foam filter
i gave my hks away as there the worst air filter i've ever seen in my life and i've been modding cars for years. I would rather use a sponge from the £1 shop
on a n/a i would use K&N and on a turbo a apiex
sorry about spelling can't remember how to spell the names

I dont think the HKS is that bad really, you do need to change the element regularly tho.. like with every oil change.
