HKS Replacement Filter Element - 2013+ FR-S / BRZ / 86

Replacement Filter Element for HKS Intake Systems on the FR-S, BRZ, and 86

The HKS Replacement Filter Element for the 2013+ FR-S, BRZ, and 86 is the correct service filter for HKS intake systems on the FA20 platform. If you are running an HKS Racing Suction, Premium Suction, or equivalent intake that uses a serviceable cotton gauze filter, this is the replacement element when the filter reaches the end of its service life or when a fresh element is preferred over cleaning and re-oiling the existing one.

Correct Replacement Element for HKS FA20 Intakes

HKS performance filters are washable and reusable, but they have a finite service life and the cotton gauze element eventually needs replacement rather than cleaning. This is the correct element for the FA20 HKS intake applications. Verify the filter dimensions match your specific HKS intake system before ordering.

Washable vs Replace: When to Go Fresh

Proper filter maintenance, cleaning, re-oiling, and eventual replacement, is part of running an open element performance intake system. Over-oiling a cleaned filter can contaminate the MAF sensor. When in doubt about filter condition, a fresh element is the reliable solution.

The FT Breakdown

The replacement filter element is a maintenance part that ensures your HKS intake continues performing as designed. Keep one on the shelf if you are running an HKS intake on the FA20. When the filter service interval comes around, you want the correct element ready. A fresh filter element is often the better choice over cleaning and re-oiling a high-mileage cotton gauze filter because the cotton fibers weaken and the filter media loses its dimensional stability over time, even with proper maintenance. If the filter has been through ten or more service cycles, a new element provides a more reliable baseline than a cleaned version of the same filter.
