Default Anyone know anything about Blitz SUS Power Filter

The BLITZ SUS Power air cleaners are made from top quality T-304 stainless steel. Totally unique, the entire filtration element is made from a fine stainless steel T-304 mesh (200 micron mesh and 150 micron crown). This mesh means the filter will never wear out, and have substantially less restriction than any other filter. Another feature is the super fine pattern of the mesh. This straightens the airflow and dramatically reduces aerodynamic ˇĄtumbleˇ¦ (restrictive turbulence). The BLITZ® air cleaners also have fine mesh at the top of the filter, further improving the airflow capabilities. Unlike anything available in the market today, the BLITZ® SUS Power air cleaner is by far the best performing and best looking automotive air filter money can buy, which include all the necessary pipe, brackets, and adapters. They are also available in four different universal cone sizes and various adapters, so they can be customized for almost any car.

AM I WASTING MONEY HERE?

i've seen the blitz intake and i can say that yes, it is a very nice unit. a short ram that actually comes upwards and points towards the firewall. the reason that the the blitz is the least restrictive is because it is composed of the steel. the bad part about this intake is that if you look at reviews, this filtrates much less of the dust and dirt and things in the air compared to the other filters...aka k&n or apexi or hks. ill try to find the link to the report. but if you are looking for performance, this is the one to get

Thanks, but I already saw that one. I just wanted to know if anyone knew anything else about the filter besides what is on the Internet.

I also heard XBs don't really need an front strut tower brace because the tower was near the firewall. Is there any rear strut tower brace cuz I can't find any searching online.

What do you think is the best dry filter out in the market.

what's a dry filter? one that doesnt need oil?

not true, the strut bar will help out in the front. if not, they wouldnt use them. as for the rear strut tower brace, u can get the gt spec one at www.partshippers.com

here's a pic:

Hey DINKJS is there enough room to put a strut tower brace with the SUS filter. I noticed in some photos that it's pretty close to the brake fluid resevoir. Did you also happen to find the cleaner for the SUS filter as well and where's the cheapest place to get them.

I like the fact that the filter is all stainless and is not required to be oiled. How's the sound of the intake filter and what rpm does it go WHAAA

The sound is decent.....you should be able to put a front strut tower brace on....but personally its a waste of money on the xB since the struts are so close to the firewall....buy a rear strut brace instead.....in terms of a cleaner.....just use water
