Where To Buy Apexi Air Filter?

[suwidji]

I'm looking to buy an Apexi high flow panel air filter here in Australia, but i'm not sure where to get one. I tried both supercheap and autobarn, but they only sell k&n.

I want an apexi one because I don't have to maintain it by re-oiling it every few thousand km.

I see that nengun.com sells them at a good price including shipping, but not sure on how fast they are at shipping. Any experience with them?

cheers!

Depends what shipping method you use bro, tey have about 3-4 options for shipping.

i was looking at using EMS - International Express Mail Service. It says it'll take approximately 3-5 days after the order is sent from japan, but just want to know how reliable it is to buy from there and is the estimated shipping date accurate?

[gtsttrk]

Yeah it's there fine to use bro, I used EMS and yeah it came in about 3 days after the order had been completed. Can track it the whole way too.

just get a k&N one and every 20,000 odd take it out, bang it to release all the loose stuff and re-use it

not trying to put down your recommendation, but just wondering if anyone can confirm this? I've never heard of it that's why.

Also, is it a pod filter, or can you get a direct fit panel filter to fit in the stock box?

cheers for the info guys!

Nengun is a trustworthy site - I bought my Blitz panel filter from them, and it came in 3 business days

Not 100% on this but I'm quite sure that some K&N filters don't need to be re-oiled, it's a dry filter in that sense. Maybe go for that option unless of course I'm terribly mistaken.

thanks for the input guys. I've gone with the apexi one from nengun. Works a treat, and the sound is a lot more distinct than the cheapo one i got from supercheap a year ago lol.

What do you guys think of the BNC panel filters? I was recommended to get one and it seems to work great, very high flow.... On the dyno it makes very little difference if it is removed or not...

Think it was something like 250rwkw vs 254rwkw on back to back runs... Snorkle, BNC Panel and stock airbox vs no airbox lid or filter... (Open bonnet)

Thats pretty impressive. Do you have a comparison between those stats and pod filter stats? I used to run a K&N panel filter on my 33 with stock air box and intake. It was pretty good (better than Ryco etc filter) but then when I fitted a pod It felt a bit better. I think a good pod in a good ensulated enclosure is the way to go though.

[Odium]

Nope, I've never run a pod filter on my 33...

Also keep in mind that the close power figures could have been because there was some other restriction which was limiting the power (exhaust, intake piping, turbo, etc)

[AMR33]

Yeah thats true. Although Im wondering why some people prefer not to run pods. Is there a reason or just preference?
