Forgive me if this has been covered already in another thread. I've searched but did not find any threads.
Anyway; my NT is on it's 4th air filter.
The first two air filters were OEM.
And upon removing them at around 15k miles each. They looked like your typical dirty air filter.
The 3rd air filter I used was a HIFLO; bought online.
Other then is costing less than 50% the price of an OEM air filter from a local dealer; it appeared to be exactly the same as OEM.
Well I recently replaced that HIFLO filter at the same interval (about 15k miles) as the previous two OEM filters.
And other than a few large items; bugs, stones, small pieces of twigs, etc...; the filter appeared to have absolutely no dirt trapped in it.
So I am wondering if HIFLO is not only a brand name; but perhaps it's also a design description.
OR maybe I have an opening in the airbox causing much of the incoming air to bypass the air filter.
Anyone else have experience using HIFLO air filters ?
Thanks;
