Malossi Air Filter?

Post by Cosmic_Jumper »

Can anyone confirm that a Malossi #1415335 Air Filter is a replacement for a 2014 NSS30 OEM Air Filter. We've ordered the Malossi and the filter element is approximately half the size of the OEM element (123mm X 60mm vs 209mm X 65mm)? The filter body is the same size & configuration as the Honda one though. Some'n ain't right.

Check with who you bought/ordered it from?

It was a convoluted series of internet contacts & transactions, but ultimately "...that's what [the book] calls for". Can't believe that a filter less than half size of the OEM filter will allow anywhere near enough air flow to adequately supply the intake system.

How do you think your Forza would run if you blocked off half the filter?

Perhaps buy a proper one from a reputable supplier who has read the "book"

What exactly are you wanting to achieve from a filter replacement? Honda have probably made a reasonable job of the original fitment.
