OK, both filters are OEM and both work just fine. What I really want to know is if there is any kind of difference performance wise. Like how Honda makes a small performance filter so that VTEC can kick in harder. Pretty much, which would be better to use from now on.

 

just get a filter that does its job the best it can since it's such a vital part

 

i always use the short one

 

The shorty.

 

the shorty... im afraid that the large one could be hit by some debris... also the shorty covers the whole base when you install it.... more peace of mind...

 

thats exactly why

 

lol, ah the good ole days..

 

Short and fat

 

Short and fat is what should be used

 

Awesome, thanks guys. My local dealership gave me the tall one and said they use it on Evos all the time.

 

Everyone is steering you right - the shawty.

 

I always use the short one

 

do hondas really run a different filter so that vtaak kicks in harder? thats brilliant.

 

The Short one is for Evos. The long one for Lancers. If your dealership doesn't know that, or is lying to you, I wouldn't be going back to them.

 

<---glad you know that oem filters are the best for filtration; it's been proven many times.
