Cosworth! Blue filters better than red!

Cosworth is not cleanable. It has the same life as the factory filter. I spent $40 on one to discover that.

I got HKS. It's the only HKS part I'll probably ever afford.

I have had both. The Cosworth is blue and a thinner medium. It did seem to increase power a bit (confirmed by butt dyno). The Apexi is a thicker red medium. I think this is due to the fact that some of the thickness is a pre-filter designed to keep the more restrictive filter cleaner over time. The Apexi seemed to make the intake noise louder than the Cosworth, but then the Cosworth was at the end of its life. The Apexi seems to make as much, or even more power as the Cosworth. Having tried each one, I think I will stick with the Apexi.

Apexi isn't washable either IIRC. On other cars, they're some of the best filters period (flow vs cleaning ability)
Cosworth is a name... and nobody is going to see the filter anyway. |
