HKS Super Air Panel Filter for RX-8 (NEW)

Description

HKS’s New  Super Air Filter replaces their older Super Hybrid Panel Filter Designs at an even better price.

New stock replacement type air filter utilizing newly developed dry non-woven fabric filter.
High dust collection capacity and low resistance are implemented together at a high level.

Newly Developed Dry Non-woven Fabric Filter

• The density gradient structure where filter density becomes higher with each layer ensures all sizes of dust and other particles are caught in the most effective way. Optimizing the fiber components reduces the ventilation resistance.

Low Resistance & High Dust Collection Capacity

• Even though the intake resistance is reduced, the dust collection capacity is higher than previous model. (Collected more than 95% dust volume during in-house testing) Reliably capturing dust to provide clean air to the engine.

Long-term Low Resistance

• Even after long-term use of the filter, the intake resistance stays as low as new.

Filter Structure Comparison

• A pleated type sports filter usually collects various sizes of dust on its surface; therefore, air passage becomes narrower which easily causes filter clogging even initial ventilation resistance is low.
• HKS Super Air Filter utilizes the density gradient structure where filter density becomes higher with each layer ensures all sizes of dust and other particles are caught gradually which maintains proper air passage resulting in a long product life.

The frame has been strengthened so as to not distort even in high power applications. The design of the top edge of the frame has been further improved to increase air flow into the filter and by using a “separate shield frame” structure, the frame lip seals tightly against the air box without the need for a separate rubber ring improving the products environmental impact. The two part filter frame structure allows simple replacement of the filter element when it is time to replace the filter. Reusable filters which can be cleaned cannot always restore 100% of its air flow properties whereas new replacement elements can. HKS believes that this is therefore the best method to ensure maximum performance from the air filter every time it is serviced.

Please note that the new style filters have a white color element not the green currently shown in the image.
