[Group Buy] Ralliart Panel Filter

[lovecolt]

I am planning to buy a Ralliart Air Filter. Was wondering if any of you guys are interested. If we can gather 10 buyers or more, we can get a discount for it. The price should be around $135 delivered to any where in Australia.

Here is the description from the Ralliart Catalogue:

ウレタンフォーム製、3層構造の多孔式ポリウレタンフォームを集塵材に採用。トルクレスポンスも向上する。 オイル塗布などの作業が不要の乾式タイプ。

Adopting polyurethane foam make and porous type polyurethane form of 3 layer system for the dust collection material. Also the torque response improves. Job such as oil application the dry type of unnecessary. [Translated via Babel Fish off Alta Vista Search Engine]

[Victor]

i'm interested as well. let me know if u going to order them

[rukboy11]

got a pic on what they look like? is it just a sponge element for the box or paper one?

[|2colt]

hey just wondering what the price of these things are normally?
Putting the filter in would void warranty hey?

[cisco]

Probably not because its a genuine accessory, but you could always swap the factory filter back in if you needed to get the car serviced or any warranty work done when the dealer sees it again etc.

[GucciPiggy]

Are they washable?

[Middle Man]

If they're anything like the EVO ones, they're not washable nor do they need to be oiled - just shake them or apply an air compressor to clean it.

The paper/mesh ones look like this:

Im quite sure they dont make the sponge type one anymore.....but i could be wrong :p

Dealers here (both Ralliart and aftermarket) sell them for about $250!

With regards to warranty, they wont know if you dont tell them.....you unclip 3-4 clips, remove OEM paper filter and add this one.

Good for some induction noise too :D

[GucciPiggy]

I wonder if they actually flow any better?

[ckwan028]

From Ralliart web site, it say:
3 layers
Dry Type

As far as i'm aware, any dry type filter isn't very reusable. You can use the method stated by Middleman to give it abit of cleaning, but its definitely not as reusable as a oiled based K & N filter.

*Official Pics of the filter is now placed on the first post*

Any aftermarket filter always flows better than the stock paper filter.

When you are going to order it ? or have to wait for 10 to make a good deal.:o

[lovecolt]

Yes, we have to wait for 10 before we can get the price as stated above. But if you want to get it now, i can organize for you. PM me.

[Raymond6]

:cool: Sounds Good just send me a private message before you order and Ill consider my financial situation. If I have a spare $135 then ill be in on it!

[lovecolt]

No problem. Will put you down in the list for the time being.

[27AME]

I should be in for this. How long do they last?

[lovecolt]

I should be in for this. How long do they last?

Like all air filters, it depends where you drive your car. But i would expect around at least 10 000 - 20 000 km. But as mentioned before, one can always use a air compressor to give it a clean (maybe not 100% clean)

I will put you down in the list then.

[lovecolt]

Come on Guys! We just need 3 more in the group buy....

[Steve-B]

yeah, put me down for one.
who are you getting them throu ? if you can pm me as I wouldnt mind getting some of the other ralliart parts.
cheers

[hendo]

if you get your L2S licence from cams you get it cheaper again:D :cool: i can get it for $94

[27AME]

I'm gonna have to back out of this group buy. Got a Blitz SUS pod filter on the way.

Sorry guys.

[lovecolt]

[Victor]

[Macca]

[DarkLord]

I did a dyno and the Ralliart filter increased 9bhp for my CVT Colt R. :D
