[Group Buy] Helene Performance/Streamline Engineering Air Filters

[RaptureM3]

Hello there!

Trying to get together a group buy for the newly introduced Helene Performance/Streamline Engineering air filter. As many of you might know, our fellow member, louis, recently obtained the right to distribute these filters in SG.

I'll get straight to the point, these filters are the best avaliable on the market right on.

From their website,

Key features of all Baleen SE filters (panels and cones)
• Maintains OEM filter’s 99% debris collection efficiency per ISO 5011 standards.
• Reduces restriction levels considerably to improve engines respiration.
• Filter continues to flow well as it loads up.
• Crisper throttle response and potential for MPG gains.
• Filter is 100% washable and reusable.
• Cotton media consists of twice as many plies as competition.
• Manufacturing process yields considerably less urethane bleed onto filter media.
• Only highest quality materials used. Build quality is obvious.
• Will not affect the factory warranty.

Personal reviews,

And many many more..

Cliff's note;

1) Better throttle response

2) Better fuel economy

3) More low AND high end power

4) Slight improvement in sound

Application:
These filters will fit,

E46 3-Series (320, 323, 325, 328, 330)
E36 3-Series
E36/E46 M3
E39 5-Series
Z3 (2.0L up)
Z4 (All except 2.0L and Z4M)

Pricing:
Usual price; SG$130
*E46 M3 usual price = SG$140

GROUP BUY PRICE; 10% off retail = SG$117
*E46 M3 price = SG$126

I will need 5 people for this to work. The filters will arrive approx 2-3 weeks after the final order is sent to Louis.

I will close this GB this Sunday, 16/07/06, or when i have 5 pax, whichever is later.

Thanks for reading.

if you've changed to a CAI that's using a cone filter, then can't use my panel filters. but if your cone filter uses a 4" diameter flange, HP has a cone filter that might fit.

Sorry guys, forgot to add in that usual price for the M3 filter is SG$140.

Regarding payment, i am still finalizing with Louis on how we should go about that.

Anyhow, we have more than 5 orders now which mean the GB will close this Sunday!

Guys, kudos to Louis, all filters will be COD! This is to facilitate everyone with payment & collection.

However, also because of this, please DO NOT play him/me out. Collection of the filters will be at his shop @ Sin Ming.

All those on the list now please PM with me your contact number and name.

THANK YOU!

Re: [Group Buy] Helene Performance/Streamline Engineering Air Filters

GB is CLOSED!

Thanks all for your orders. We should expect the filters to arrive in 2-3 weeks time.

Once again, all filters can be self-collect from Louis' shop at Sin Ming Autocare, #05-10. For those who aren't going to DIY, you can go to your favourite workshop to get it installed or Louis might also be able to help you.

Price for your application is listed in the first post.

THANK YOU once again and anyone with any questions can PM me.

Regards,
Alex

Re: [Group Buy] Helene Performance/Streamline Engineering Air Filters

thanks for organising the GB Alex!

i've already entered my order into the system. i will be contacting you folks via PM and/or sms within the next few days.

Re: [Group Buy] Helene Performance/Streamline Engineering Air Filters

Hi Guys,

the E46 and E39 filters have arrived and are ready for collection. The ///M3 filters will take a bit longer.

i've PMed all of you already so check your mailboxes for details.

in addition to what i've written about collection, if you're a busy busy man, i can save you some time by dropping the filters off at either BVO or J4C.

you'll have to call the workshop yourself and get prior approval from them and you'll have to either get them to pay me on your behalf or you can transfer the money to my account.

Thank you once again for buying the Helene Performance filter.

p.s. my shop's at #05-10 Sin Ming Autocare, no signage yet but its the first shop on your right once you come off the spiral ramp.

we're 2 floors above J4C and less than 5 minutes from BVO.
