Quality product and extremely fast processing

Cons
  • Not bad but...

Great Air Cleaner

This is my second Specter filter, the first lasted several years on my 2005 Honda Element. Performance and quality are excellent. Ease of installation. Now I will buy this filter.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Secret

Luckily this thing sucks.

This filter really sucks. Technically the engine is naturally aspirated and this filter makes it easy to get air into the carburetor. It's built really well and fits easily in my 2005 Honda Element. I would definitely buy this again.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • unreliable

Direct replacement for disposable, cheaper K&N

I bought this for a 2004 Civic Si. I'm not sure if it has a performance boost, but I think it's been about 2 years since I installed it. Will look at it here soon and see how well it's sealed and tidy up. I've used Specter in the past and haven't had any issues.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • Low serviceability

Fits slightly shorter than OEM HONDA Air Element Filer.

Suitable for our Honda CR-V JDM Sport Edition. This had no noticeable impact on performance or fuel economy. I hope this filter will filter better than the OEM (paper) filter. There are 2 studies I came across that concluded that this type of filter sends silicon deposits to the collector. Now silicone is not good for our engine when mixed with oil.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Does not fit all

Poor fit for 2006 Honda CRV

Clamps fit 2006 Honda CRV but not well. The filter was dangling in the case when I installed it a year ago, but I decided to use it anyway. When I removed the filter today I found that the top sealing surface was not properly aligned with the filter housing leaving a 1mm gap for unfiltered air. The gap was clearly visible through the dust and the indentation in the sealing surface. I replaced it with FRAM CA9493 which provides a tight fit and excellent sealing surface alignment.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
