LIZARD Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 How long does the Blitz last? If it fits? Probably as long as the K&N. Stage2.5376, TDC ProTune,blah blah blahhhh and....Alky/H20 injection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMac1203 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 it fits just like OEM...sounds better than stock (like all dropins) and no oil to worry about Need a CarPC bezel? PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandonhope16 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Can you clean the Blitz like you can the AVO. I have an AVO right now, but I'm just wondering what I should do when it comes time to replace it. Get another AVO or go with the Blitz? I just don't feel like dealing with any oil, but I'd prefer to get the one with a longer life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMac1203 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 well, I havent looked into cleaning, Ive only had it on for mayb 1k miles. Im not too worried about it, because if I can't clean it, it's just another $50 20k miles down the road, I think I can manage that. That's like once every year or so. Geez, with the money we spend on other parts around here, $50 a year or so should be nothing. Plus, Id rather have a new filter than a cleaned one, but to each his own! Need a CarPC bezel? PM me!

lawl Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 i have a mini review... typed it up. may have been in another thread, but here it is took 3 minutes to put on. Instructions given were great. Comes with color pictures. The 300 dollar SSQV i got didnt even come with color pictures. unclip the airbox clips, remove the electrical plug, and loosen the clip on the big hose with a flathead screwdriver. It'll open enough to pull out the stock one, and insert the new one. the smaller end goes in front, make sure fins are horizontal. As far as sound goes... I'm going to go in terms of turbo sounds (other than the turbo whine itself)- bov, sucking sound, etc 0= N/A car... 10= BOV vent to atmosphere with the louder BOVs (blitz, hks, etc) Stock is about a 1. Can barely hear anything, but it's there. Can hear it occasionally in certain conditions Stock+ AVO is about a 2.5 to a 3. Still pretty quiet and not easy to notice. Hard to hear with windows down and you have to pay attention to hear it. A little more sucking noise than usual but not too noticeable. Stock+AVO+ Cobb Stage 1. this is what I have and i'm loving it. this is a 5. you can clearly hear the sucking/intake noise and the bov sound pretty frequently. It gives just the right amount of feedback. I only drove it once like that but it was pretty soothing, not too intrusive. Was it worth the 60 dollars? hell yea. Would i buy it again? hell yea. But then again I've only driven the car like this once... will post again if i ever get annoyed at it... but i dont see that happening. Any music will easily drown it out. car for sale. PM me!

ScoopMan Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well I just put the AVO panel filter in my rig. It definitely seems a bit more responsive. So I guess the 'woosh' or whine you get at around 3500 when you put your foot in it is normal, right? I only hear it when the engine is under load. Just revving the car in neutral doesn't make the noise. Not sure I am crazy about the noise, at first I thought something was wrong with the car. No worries, right?

sirsimon Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 ^ No worries - it's normal. I rather like the sound on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoopMan Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks sirsimon... Just wanted to be sure it was making the sounds it was supposed to. Well at first I wasn't too sure about sushi. Now I like it. Maybe this is similar. Same country anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 it fits just like OEM...sounds better than stock (like all dropins) and no oil to worry about So AVO panel filter is the one that doesn't require to re-oil after cleaning? Good! then i know what i'll be getting ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWP-LegacyGT Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 yes and it lasts about 15-20,000 miles between cleanings (see compressed air or shaking) and replace it every 30-35,000 miles. Love mine and I've had mine since about 10k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownBoy Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 +1 for AVO. It fits the N/As too! (LGT and 2.5i filters are the same FYI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 +1 for AVO. It fits the N/As too! (LGT and 2.5i filters are the same FYI) hmm i remember when boostjunkie did my intake silencer removal we found out that NA's filter is double protected, after taking out of the stock filter there is still a film of filter that is secured in there. He said it's definitely different from a GT but anyways, i'll pick up a AVO panel filter soon ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr. pepper Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I put in a K&N panel about a month ago and haven't noticed any problems concerning the oil messing with the MAF. Extra whoooosh is awesome! The K&N is safe for a stock ECU because, if it even affects the MAF that negatively, the stock map runs rich anyways, correct?..... ....or should I buy the AVO from rallitek as soon as possible?

31337_LGT Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Perfect timing! (for stumbling across this thread topic) Just got an oil change this weekend and was informed that I have a dirty filter and was asked if I wanted to go ahead and buy the replacement from them. I didn't even ask for the price since I had previously done some research and had already decided to go with an aftermarket drop-in air filter (plus, I know the stealership would have tried to really bend me over). I just ordered the AVO filter today from Rallitek and I'm already impressed by Rallitek's customer service just by the number of emails I've received from them (letting me know that my filter will ship soon, thanks for your order, etc). I can't wait to let my Leggie breathe a little easier (I'm sure she can't, either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spect2k Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I know this is a relatively old thread at this point, but you guys are saying that the AVO panel filter needs to be replaced every 20K miles or so. Taken directly from rallitek's website: "AVO high-flow panel air filter is a direct replacement for the stock paper filter. Made from sturdy cotton fiber with a special dry film that allows for more air flow than stock with equal rates of engine protection. Thanks to it's high-tech design the AVO panel air filter is washable and will last the life of your car." What's the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Toss is after 25,000 miles, clean it every 8k miles and you're set. Can anyone verify this? I have had one for 30k and clean it every now and again. I was uner the impression that this is a permanent filter...just needs cleaning. Like a K&N. Rehab is for quitters.

CTATV Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 what entails the silencer removal. havent read about this before. What is the gain, just sound? Is it hard to do, can it be replaced if its too loud? Woul apreciate if anybody could expand on what this is... I just installed the AVO. It said to fit it with the fins horizonally positions, but it fit perfectly with the fins vertical. I had to really pry it in there to get them horizonal lol However, with the new AVO filter and silencer removed, sounds like I have a mild aftermarket BOV! Love it, and I do feel a very slight more power boost. Not to mention much more fun to drive! Zac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
