try top secret in kensington ( 9662 6422) for the mugen one... PM for more info

i really dont think theres much differences between these air filters just brand name... and price
if you dont wanna spend to much you can go a simota one... there not to expensive and do the same thing

go for k&n (u can pick them up for $80 new), not too expensive as compared to apexi ($200 new with adapter mod to fit car)....

not sure about simota, i heard their filters were made out of paper instead of cotton like k&n or apexi.... correct me if im wrong

simota only if you dont wanna spend to much... otherwise K&N is a good buy

i got a K&N one on my car, and i rate it pretty well. Not sure about the mugen one, but id guess performance would be around the same. Not sure what ur car is, but small engines dont really suck much air so whichever you choose wont make much difference, but getting a K&N will provide you with a sweet warranty (100000 km or something? not sure how you'd measure that, but yeah u get a warranty) plus the recharge kits are really easy to find.


As for paper filters, Ive been told that the good ones are even better than normal filters, but their lifespan is MUCH shorter as they arent re-usable.

I would go K&N, resonable price and reliable!

go a K&N. value for money.
japanese filters, while they flow well, often dont filter as well in our dusty environment. they designed for nice clean nippon streets.

K&N unless u use money for toilet paper

K&n have been tested as one of the best flowing filters and have unlimited reuse, and u can buy those filter cleaners from any car shop like autobarn = no hassle...

apex would be my next choice, but very expensive for what it is

btw dont buy 2nd hand filters... u dont know wtf previous owners have been washing em with

I can vouch for k & N pod filters.
They have a loud induction noise and performs well.
