Air Filter

HELP! Can't decide between HKS drop in air filter or the Supertek intake pipe and filter! Read countless reviews on both. HKS has a dyno showing proven 5whp gained but Supertek says 6-7whp proven as well. There is about 50 dollar difference between the two can anyone give me some personal feedback if they have either? Thank you in advance lol.

is the extra 50$ worth the extra 1-2 HP? would your butt dyno even notice it probably not
i just popped in a k&n filter and called it a day, it was 40$ i didn't feel much of a difference, until i got a catback exhaust then i felt like the car pulled just a little harder.

HKS has the most gains...but I would get the one that is easiest to clean. I got the aFe Dry because I can just vacuum it clean. No need to deal with oil or the like.

I have to agree, K&N would be the way to go. Easy to install (just swap), 5hp, manageable price, life warranty, easy to clean, etc. It's totally up to you broski.

I just went with the Apexi filter. They did well with the filtration test.
