Stock air filter intake VS Aftermarket Airfilter intake

[nicolite]

guys I just want to know your comments or any suggestions regarding air filter intake, ano po ba cons and pros ng mga air filter intake like Simota, mas maganda pa rin ba ang stock? kasi balak ko palitan yung akin yung parang plato yung itsura para sa old school car ko.

stock pa rin ang gamit ko sa 15 year old car ko.
pinapalitan ko na lang ito every 4 months.

yung aftermarket airfilters (like simota, k&n), maganda nga din ito pero ayaw kong magwash pa ng airfilter. tapos mag-apply pa ng shampoo at special oil pa para dito. medyo hassle sa akin ang ganito kaya i still prefer using the stock airfilter. so far, no problem whatsoever sa tsikot ko.

wow tagal na din pala ng car mo, car ko 23yrs old na, pag stock ba nid din ba linisan at shampoohin yung filter? ok


Stock air filter intake = 1 VS Aftermarket Airfilter intake = 0

From what I've heard, ang kagandahan daw ng aftermarket is dagdag hp plus you don't have to replace it, just wash it plus good-to-look-at. I'm planning to buy one but haven't tried it yet.

oo nga eh kaso hassle sa pagtanggal ng aftermarket pero maganda daw performance, maganda ba performance ng aftermarket sa mga 1.3 engine?

Think of it this way, you get more airflow with an aftermarket air filter, but more dust too.

In a 1.3L engine it wouldn't matter much because your engine is designed for optimal fuel economy, not performance.

yes, matagal na rin tsikot ko. alaga ko lang sa change oil, tune-up at regular change ng filters (air & fuel). it's a lancer EL (1300cc lang ito) and like what mbeige said, it's for fuel economy. hindi pwede pang rezing-rezing. hehehe...

kapag stock ang filter, disposable ito and it's not washable. pero pwede bugahan ng pressurized air sa gas station once a month.

parang gusto kong mag improvise ng air filter this weekend. ang gagamitin kong material ay yung 3M aircon filter. uumpisahan ko na at bibili ako mamaya sa ace hardware.

Napapagod na kase ko ng kakabili ng filter every 6 months.

mine is a 1984 Ford Laser(hatch) all parts are stock, the only parts that is not stock are HU(pioneer) and the rims, I also maintain it like other stock cars do, wow so mas madali palang maka higup ng dust ang aftermarket, ano bang magandang brand na bilhin para palitan yung air filter ko syempre replacement, sayang naman kala ko maganda yung K&N and simota air intake na nakita ko aka. Plato filter hahahahahahahaha.....

Are you sure a aircon filter is enough to block otside dust? Aircon filter is for indoor dust lang kasi.
