I never heard of the HKS breaking upa nd foam going into the compressor or N/A intake manifold....and I know guys running them on 400 HP motors...as long as it is clean you are fine...The APEXi is the preffered intake won best for cleanliness and HP increase on a few tests I have seen that were not run by the company..K&N is good, but they always collapse after a fw cleaning and use....look at someones older K&N, bet it is not the orginal shape

I had the HKS smf and I didn't oil that thing. But it did kill my maf since it doesn't filter that much and decided to change it. I put on an K&N kit, adapter with velocity stack and the filter and it pulls harder at higher rpms. It is carb legal compared to the universal K&N filter. Go to their website to look at it.
