I was buying my silicone hoses on Siliconeintakes.com and saw these foam filters I've seen on ricers. They are very inexpensive and I was wondering if anyone here is currently using them or knows anything about them?

For another 20 bucks or so the k@n is worth the piece of mind.

the foam ones are actually pretty good. I've seen them used on JGTC cars so If they are good enough for that then I would use them on my street car.

How do they compare to K&N?

ShApE

I would say depending on the brand they are about the same. If you go with a brand like http://www.pipercross.net/ then its probably better than K&N

I actually wanna do the pipercross Viper induction kit on my 951 and see how I like it.

Do they make one for our cars?

I would suggest a serious look before jumping on foam filters.

Ones I researched long ago flowed excellent, but were terrible at actually filtering. This is where the oiled (K&N type for example) were exceptional while keep very good flow compared to conventional filters.

I guess I'll stick to my K&N...

...and dirt bikes but even then they need to be oiled.

It may flow great, but how would you know how well it filters until your engine wears out prematurely?
