Default HKS RS

Im considering getting an HKS Racing Suction induction kit, does anyone have any comments about these? what are the performace gains and are there any problems I should be aware of.

My car is a UK300 PPP with full decat & HKS SSQV.

Thanks

Sy

You will probably get better filtration from a tea strainer! Seen the inlet tract after one of these - covered in black dust and general cack - as was the MAF (which needed replacing twice in 6 months)

Lightbulb ?

They are supposed to be very good. Its the Blitz one that has the repution for F**ked MAF's. They are a lot more money that the std HKS kit for just a bit of polished tube. I have had the green mushroom version and liked it but now have A'pexi cos its so pretty!!!!!!!!
Shop around as there are big savings to be made by a bit of time on the net.

No, believe me, I have seen it -it was an HKS SPF, but AFAIK, the filter elements are the same?

You pays your money and all that!

I know it is only the SPF but look at this page - http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/filters_test/1/

The Blitz actually filters better than the HKS from the looks of things!

Apexi certainly seems to be the best, good power gains too! Ive got a K&N bespoke jobby which seems the best of the rest.

I could be wrong and the RS may use a different element to the SPF though?
