anybody have any?

according to spoon's site the stock intake is better for NA motors. what do you all think?

from spoon

 

lets be realistic, a filter alone cannot offer drastic amounts of HP. but when u're dealing with N/A, every little bit helps.

whats your goal?

 

just a nice daily driver with a little more oomph. I have an auto so all the cai are out the question. sri is the only other choice.

it's just suprising that Spoon makes this claim vs. the competition and these guys are known as top notch tuners. I'm sure they could make more profits selling sri/cai.

 

i have the Spoon drop in....in all honesty its weird. haha

i bought the car and pretty much dumped everything in it the next day (rims, tires, exhaust, filter) so i ran the car with the spoon filter since day one (didnt think it every really made a difference....more on that later). i recently swapped it out for the old stock filter (not really old but yeah...) and i totally noticed a drop in 4.5k upwards powerband. before i could jump on it from 4k all the way to 6k and feel the lil guy working hard and building.....now with stock filter back in from 4k to 6 it LAGS!!!!!!!! after 4.5~5k it just feel like it loses its will to build up speed. so to me i love the high flow and from what ive heard the K&N Filter actually allows more airflow than the Spoon. but i got the spoon cheap since i bought b pipe and axle back along with it.

i also noticed a drop in fuel economy switching back to stock filter......OEM filter got me 31 mpg average....with spoon i always hit 33 mpg on occassion a nice 35 mpg (no my driving habits didnt change either )

 

thanks for the input. i wonder if spoon has any dyno numbers.

too bad there isn't a fit dyno comparo on several options. that'd be so cool.

 

as long as the filtering ability isnt compromised, the Spoon filter is Go!

 

I have the spoon filter in my auto fit sport. I to notice better flow when vtec is engaged compared to oem. Is a good buy and also cheaper than any CAI or SR intake's. Plus it is spoon you are dealing with. I think they know what their talking about when it comes to Honda's. Which leaves me worry free.

 

Has anyone tried or heard about the HKS Super Hybrid Filter? It is HKS's newest drop in filter and they have a Fit application, very cheap priced one I might add. It is made from a new Foam similar to there traditional green foam drop in and mushroom style filters but not the same type of foam, suppose to flow better.

Here is a reputable seller who I have bought from many times selling one on ebay:
