I've been using this air filter for more than a year now, after I replaced it, the car feels so much better now.... especially the response at light throttle, see the colour difference below.....

how long are we supposed to keep air filters? our jazz goes in for regular servicing so its whenever honda servicing think its best to replace

I can't find a replacement for my stock air filter :(. Since mine is the face-lift honda jazz (http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/1605/dsc014291ql.jpg) that one.

And my stock airbox is here

(that square thing bottom left from battery) and k&n doesn't seem to supply one that is squarish in shape)

I heard theres a spoon filter out there? Anyone provide any links?

would it fit the GD5 though?

cos my filter basically looks like

(that's for a EG6)

EDIT**

Wait just found it from the mugen site!!

THAT IS EXACTLY THE ONE!

But I dunno how it performs, nor how do I get hold of one.

rough description:

Air filter of standard equipment - with exchange type. The advanced air filter which inhalation resistance approximately 12% is decreased - is.

And wonder if it's re-usable as well?

the air box and the filter are from the branch called GD1...... i got them from HK, i was told once that the filter itself is actually produced by Simota..... but new filter makes so much difference, may be because my old filter is really really really dirty.... :D
