The air intake system of any combustion engine is very critical. A well designed air intake system will give the best performance in low, mid and high-end torque.
The air intake system usually incorporates a simple filter element for prevention of foreign objects. This simple filter is usually made of paper or fibre which is low cost and needs to be replaced periodically. This simple filter although gives good filtration, but it also restrict air from entering into
the engine.
After market drop in panel air filters are introduce to give better air flow. This usually comes in the form of cotton (sandwiched by wire gauze), sponge, or high quality fibre. Most of these filters need oil to trap particles.
The disadvantages are
Hurricane believes in quality and performance. Hurricane Air Filter Element uses Japan's highest grade Stainless Steel for our filter element. The uniform microscopic holes on Hurricane wire mesh ensures very consistent filtration and airflow. Thus allowing engines to breathe better as compared to the inconsistency airflow of cotton/foam filter.
With a simple Hurricane panel filter, you can expect a decent horse power gain from mid to high RPM. Acceleration is smoother and faster. The feeling is like changing to an open pod air filter. Hurricane filter will still deliver its promised filtration without compromise under extreme temperature. The filter element is strong and will not be easily shifted even under extre...

After market drop in panel air filters are introduce to give better air flow. This usually comes in the form of cotton (sandwiched by wire gauze), sponge, or high quality fibre. Most of these filters need oil to trap particles.
The disadvantages are
- Needs dedicated cleaning solution and oiling
- Not easy to maintain
- Fine oil droplets with dust might contaminate mass air flow sensor
