    Save up your money and get a K&N or HKS assembly for your car.. or even a K&N drop-in filter.

    Halos wala kang mararamdamang pagbabago sa hatak pag Simota, eh. You can experiment if you want, though, buy both the HKS and the Simota and sell the one you're not satisfied with to someone else.

    There are fuel savings, but they're small. Not really worth the price of an air-filter, IMHO... but who knows?

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    I have upgraded my nissan series 3 to the pik 1, lumakas hatak pero di ko naman napansin yung fuel efficiency nya. Worry ko lang based on my reliable mekaniko, enough ba ang filtering nito compared to original one???

    users suggests that you clean the filter 'often'.
    when it comes to power, little difference.

    Through my experience w/ simota and k&N they are both reliable speed boosters especially the K&N..But regarding with the fuel efficiency, I doubt it would give you more KM with those filters.Just remember it also depends on how you behave w/ your GAS pedal.

    Its like this:

    -----------> more air intake = more speed

    -----------> more speed = more GAS consumptions.

    e.g; Turbo,Overupgrade Exhaust Manifold,Mufflers,Air Filters.etc.. This are some of the parts you will consider when it comes to speed.

    For the carb, you'll need an adapter elbow (search... we talked about this before).

    As for cone versus mushroom... well, it's personal preference. I like cones, some guys like mushrooms.
