Does anyone use an Apexi air pod filter are they worth the money and if you do use one do they make a difference.

i have one installed and trust me they wont disapoint ya and according to Apexi, there is a 10% reduction in pressure drop by utilizing an upper and lower funnel. The Apexi Power Intake reduces air turbulence within the filter and creates smooth air flow into the throttle body. check this website out

Thanks mate good info.

this can be bolted on straight into the AFM correct?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...A%3AIT&rd=1

it will if it is the correct one for your car

500-A022 is direct bolt on for the r33,r32,z32,r34 AFMs

Q45 is the 500-A021

i find that with the apex-i pod filter - i can feel the turbo more on the passenger seat....i dont know why though....but the sound is sooooooooooooooo cool!! :(

does the sound from the apexi pod sound like a huge sucking vacuum. coz that's what my intake sounds like.

dunno what brand mine is. it's a mesh pod, looks kinda similar to the apexi.

Yeah its a vacuum like noise - but its not too loud. I just notice though that you can feel the turbo more with that on for some reason. Same thing with the car i test drove at kamikaze, All it had was the pod on it, and i could really feel the turbo kick in......

I dont think you clean them at all...they should last for ages. the linked site says its "zero maintenance"

Before you buy off ebay consider Kudos's offering, same price and aussie delivered, not a shonky guy and express posted to your door. cant complain with that. Just got mine last week and im uber happy. Better than the HKS one i had on b4

just got mine in a few days ago. Seems more quiet then the HKS one, but I think I feel a bit more 'power' in it? Or maybe cos its the cold day.... :ermm:

very noisy pod, makes noise on the slightest throttle opening, zero maintenance means that when it gets dirty u chuck it out and buy a new one, so not cheap in the long run. didnt feel any power increase.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
