yeah i agree!
if i were you davey i would steer clear of the foam element type, could tell you a few horror stories about those things!
but there all about the same really, at the end of the day there just air filters!

some offer less filtration but bigger power gains
the best one IMO is the Blitz SUS

Dont know why people still continue to get ripped off by buying over expensive filters!
Look on the K&N site under custom type filters and then stick the biggest one you can fit in! It will be about £30-40 quid from K&N direct or halfords can order them in go on have a look they even give a flow/power rating if i remember correctly!

Im sure if blitz or hks sponsored a filtration test there's would come out on top who paid for this independent test . Its all ways been argued that if you keep the original air filter and drilled alot o holes in the air box you would get the type of results shown in that test.
K&N and Apexi are the best around good value and do what they say.
To say all airfilters are the same is total rubish. HKS and Pipercross look great but dont filter well. I used to have a test of them but cant find the link at the moment.
I have used K&N for over 20 years and never seen any dust etc on the wrong side of the filter, they can also be cleaned and used again and again.
I believe Forge used to do a EVO K&N filter for the Pulsar.
Good luck

Of all the gtir's that i have seen over the last 5 years hks seams to be the most popular filter, so whos useing which brand i had a hks and now have a blitzs.But what the hell i also have an exeddy clutch and willwood brakes.
The first page shows where the other test was done. This has been kicking around for a long time but is reasonably indicative.

On my NA I had ages ago I played a lot with air filters etc and found induction length had significantly more affect than filter type.
Here is one of the funniest tests I've seen to demonstrate the point.

Induction lengths on turbo cars are completely different so don't go installing a fluglehorn, I'm just trying to show there is a load of old rubbish in air filter marketing and Geoff's "old school" drilling a few holes in the air box can be better than some of them.
IMO, don't buy a "kit", just buy the biggest filter that will fit in the space.
