Thanks psedog!! The write up on 6mt.net was really good. I'll have to check this when I got home now.

 

One last question though, which way is the air supposed to flow? Is it up or down towards that turbine thing?

 

I assume up to down as the fresh air vent is above the filter.

 

the auto-talk website says the arrow should point up.

"The filter is installed so that the arrow, on the end of the filter, is facing the rear of the vehicle and is pointed upward."

 

good info erdog! Now its time to order mine

 

I bought the carbon filter that the OP has linked to. I think this filter might be different then the ones in the auto-talk website. On the carbon filter it shows an arrow and its labeled "Air Flow Direction", or something to that effect. If the flow is up to down, I'll make sure the arrow is pointed down.

 

nice... thanks for posting this. i'm in need of new filters

 

Just ordered one. Does anyone know if there is any significant difference between these and the OEM Nissan ones Tony @ Riverside is selling? (other than the fact these are aftermarket)

 

Mine will be here Friday

 

Yes, these are about 1/2 the price.

 

^^^^booyyahhhh!!!

 

The arrow only matters if you take out the filter and put it back in. Then you will have to worry about the dirt particles that are already in the filter. Filters don't care which way they are facing they are still going to filter the air. Honestly I don't even recall seeing an arrow on my filter.

 

That makes sense, thanks again for the help!

 

OK activated carbon filter looks sturdy and more advanced then the regular nissan filters, BUT does anyone have any feedback on the performance, or has someone actually used it and can give accurate feedback on whether it is all that is advertised to do???

 

I drove through cow country and my nose didn't fall off. How is that for the Activated Carbon performance?
