Simota intake kit - filter options

[007 Yaris]

Hi,


Just want to share with Yaris owner that I have recently bought the car and I am going to replace the factory OEM airbox with a kit that i just bought from the guys at simota.com.au (part number SIM-T023-POL). The intake kit comes with the piping doesnt come with an air fitler. I was told that it requires a 70mm neck filter. So I'm just wondering what are the filter options are out there. If any owner here has them, please let me know your thoughts.....

Seeing that there isnt much aftermkt parts in Australia, if anyone is interested in the intake give Robert (in Melbourne) a call and tell him T2 sent you...


Cheers

Hi,

Welcome. Hope you enjoy the yaris.
Is this kit a cold air intake or short ram intake.?
Well i have a fujita intake and the filter doesnt fit cause i have fog lights so i ended up using some cheap brand bought from repco.
If you got a short ram then you could try that brand 3A Racing. Lets lots of air in, but not much filtration. But if i could fit any other filter into my yaris i would go for the apexi or k&n ones.

Thanks for the info.

I ended up purchasing 3A Racing filter. Not much filtration ? I was told they scored the highest during test between some Japanese/US named brand.

A friend of mine who drives a Honda reckoned it is the best bang for buck filter....so I took his words.

Anyway, the kit is a short ram intake pipe. I love to drive so much more now....lol...
