I do remember thinking the car felt a little more responsive when I put it in. And more induction roar could be heard.I'd recommend it. Unifilter are aussie owned and made. By all reports are world leaders in filtration.Oh, as for Pros: The Rampod behind the filter is meant to increase air speed thus increasing airflow. The filter also has more surface area than the panel filters.Cons: Gets quite dirty. Will need a clean once a month or so. Make sure you get some unifilter oil for it. Do not use K&N oil on it.

HAd a unifilter on it , awesome filtering but started loosing power after about 6 months . Spent thousands to find the problem , went to a bloke in Windsor , some turbo guru , he was baffled too , after bout an hour of testing he told me to pull filter off and check . I went up the street and the car felt like it had an extra 50 hp . He told me oil foam filters are OK new , but are crap after a few weeks . This was just my experience with them . Maybe they are better these days . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
