Me again,

I'm in the market to buy an intake for "Peter Pan" and of course K&N is the only company that makes a CARB approved intake. Who do you think makes the best intake for R50's, if it's not K&N is it worth the time and is it easy to take out the intake and go stock for smog?

Any help is appreciated.

Eric

 

You're probably going to want either the WAY/DDM from WayMotorWorks, or the aFe (which I have and got from VACMotorsports.)

Here is a great thread on the two:

I am pretty sure my aFe has a CARB sticker on the filter. I don't have emissions testing here though.

 

Best writeup ever. Danny, if you get the chance can you tell me whether the age is Carb approves or not?

 

aFe's number is on their site, call and ask

CARB Approved so. The a dry filter and a 5 layer filter
Didn't understand the difference. Do you?

 

The dry filter doesnt need to be oiled. I think that is best if you are in a dusty climate. Not sure about flow difference but i doubt it is anything drastic. I have the oiled filter but may switch just because finding a cleaning kit and getting it to canada is a hassle.

 

on the dry AFE.

 

Look in the the Cooper non S performance section here on NAM you'll find a thread where we challenged a customer that had the AFE to our WAY/DDM intake. And of course ours came out on top. We sell both of them, but can tell the that the WAY/DDM is better, and cheaper.

 

Way, does a paper filter fit on your product? This upgrade is on my list but I was leaning toward non oil for convenience. After working in a metal shop and as a painter I can't handle solvent fumes anymore.

 

I mean dry filter.
