I want to get rid of the mushroom of death and get a K&N replacement. Anyone tried this or know the part number? Thanks in advance.

 

I like the mushrooms. I dont have a PN, but if you take some measurements, you should find one that fits.

 

i forget what the inlet size is, but this is very similar to what i purchased for my greddy kit, as the stock greddy filters are questionable.

summit is pretty darn cool, if you need a different size filter, just search on their site, and they have pretty much everything.

 

i got K&N filter i will get you a part number. my greddy kit didnt come with one so i had to go buy new filters =/ works just fine. I had to order mine from napa they took the measurements of my mushroom filter. Fits pretty good

 

Shoot me that K&N part number too please. Thanks!

 

The filters greddy provide look really really cheap. Like some $5 ebay filter. Plus the foam they use isn't actually too great at filtering **** out. I'm sure the fitment has a lot to do with the gay size and look but oh well.

 

i guess my link didn't work perfectly, silly search stuff.

KNN-RU-5111 this is one with a 3 inch inlet, i believe the same one i used. actually, i used two lol.

 

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

 

Thanks I was looking for these.

 

Looks way better than the mushroom.

 

You can also try AEM DryFlow

 

Mushroom of death is a fitting description.

I've installed so many plenum spacers at GTG's and dyno days I can't count them all. And I've seen the results of many different air filters. Some plenums are clean and some are dirty. Its "usually" that the dirtier plenums has some sort of after market filter but not always.

But by far the worst nightmare plenum I've seen was a plenum absolutely full of a thick oily mud sludge on a Greddy TT kit with the mushrooms of death.

The mushrooms of death can't even be called filters. At best they are rock catchers and nothing more. This plenum was so full of oily mud sludge I spent 1/2 hour with rubbing alcohol trying to clean all the gunk out. It was really bad. A group of people were standing around the car staring in amazement. Horrible...

I couldn't help but think of how much of that dirt had to get inhaled into the engine. I told the guy to immediatly get thoes things off and replace them with something like a Pop Charger filter or anything. Anything short of no filter at all is better than the mushrooms of death.

Bad stuff.

 

Aaron, that is the longer filter than Sam's. Do you have a picture of that filter in your engine bay? Does it rub up against anything?
If that fits, I am going to start carrying them in inventory.

 

Yeah no kidding, and you can get that K&N filter cleaning kit anywhere... So easier to maintian to me.


Also Sharif please check your PM's

 

So which one is the right one? The filter in the pic looks too long just by looking at it. It's a very small space. When you guys find it out post it! And maybe a price you got it for!
Thanks

 

Reroute it out of the engine compartment. They only suck in hot air from behind the radiator.

Use silicone hose to route the filters in front of the wheel wells
and out of the engine compartment.

It will reduce the inlet temperatures considerably.

 

I could do that but i'd have to clean the filters every 2 months like I had to with the CAI. I have 2 big openings too from the new KurumaZ bumper (G35). Eh....sounds like too much work for a lazy POS like me.

 

You guys may consider using either AEM Dryflow filters or Apexi filters. They are oilless filters that flow EXTREMELY well. I believe they both make them with 3" outlets...

 

Gurgen did it. Maybe he can tell you about his experience with it.

It certaintly reduced inlet temps. And I think his dyno results made power from it too.... but I can't remember the details.

 

So does anyone have the part number for the K&N filters ?

I would really like to replace the Greddy ones !


Thanks !
