Which air filiter do you guys think filiter better

boosteds14 · 09-25-2002, 06:23 AM

The Blitz SUS Power is a bad idea.  Only filters down to 100 microns (oil filters generally go as small as 5-10 microns for reference).  You will get lots of grit and dust in your engine with this filter.  A better idea is the Blitz LM filter, but it's basically just a copy of the dry-element filter that you've selected from Apex'i.  I'd just get that Apex'i...good reputation and decent price.

Very good idea. I just started learning about microns in adv auto tech. Apparently asbesstis (sp) only effects you through the 1-5 micron size, which most masks dont filter... only hepa filters work.

apexi intake will filter much better
they did a study on it

wow, I had no idea that the apex'i was really (that much) better! I just voted for it because the Blitz filters look so bling-bling... (aren't they shiny or something?...) Blitz make some good stuff, but for air filters, i'd go with either an HKS or APEX'i.
Do you know how well the APEX'i filters? How about the HKS? where'd you get the Blitz #s from?
One area where the blitz might win out is total air flow. I figure that since the blitz will let in bigger particles, it will also let in more air... so if you're going to be rebuilding your engine frequently (which I don't think most of us plan), maybe the blitz would offer more power. On the other hand, if engine life is important to you, the Apex'i seems like a better choice.
