FSWerks vs Injen filtering efficiency?

[XuperXero]

Between the two intakes, which would offer better filtering efficiency? I work in an industrial area in China which has a lot of dust. Would prefer a better filtering intake.

I'm definitely going to be "that guy" and say the stock filter will be best...Read this, and follow the links as well.

Is .7hp (or whatever you think you'll gain) worth putting more dirt into your engine? Not for me.

Yeah I would definitely run the stock filter if I was driving in those conditions.

If filtering efficiency is the concern, OEM is the solution. The difference between the two intakes is most likely so minute that it won't matter over the lifespan of the vehicle.

Agreed. This is why I've been on stock box so far. But... BOV noise...

I believe the FSWerks is a oiled filter and the Injen is a dry filter. Not positive though. Other than that, the filters are similar. I have the Injen and I'm positive that the filter is dry. I also run the pre filter at this time. I've ran these type of intakes for years ( hundreds of thousands of miles) with no issues. Of course I didn't live in dusty conditions.

I rock the K&N sock on my filter. http://www.knfilters.com/search/wrap.aspx
They say it doesn't much restriction and adds another layer of dust protection.
I've been happy with my K&N / Auto Specialists / JS performance intake. I got the AS second hand though if buying new I'd go the INJEN.

That's the main reason I run the Injen, lol. Otherwise I would have stayed with the stock box or mountune.

Both are not proven with real testing... K&N did horrible on filtering efficiency on another forum, which is why they can claim so much more power from the free flow.

That's a good idea, I shall look into that. Any affects on BOV volume?

TBH i haven't run the filter without it. The BOV is still plenty loud enough. Not Boomba loud though so if a cop is next to me I can keep a lid on it if I need to. Or ring it out for laugh. You can here it in cabin with the windows up easily.

It's all about the driving experience, lol

The K&N filter is not a bad option ?
