[APA]

Sup Guys

I just wanted an idea as to what air filters you's are using on your "line's" i been told apexi is prolly one of the best if not the best and i have seen on tests that this is true but i still don't believe it what yall think i was thinkin in terms of the trust airinx or blitz sus filter

i dun wanna spend more then 350

thanx

Keep away from foam and oil filters as they can reduce the life of your air flow meter. The Blitz is good if it has a good base plate. Don't forget the K&N stuff.. it's also cheaper.

You should've posted this in the aus mainatiance section.. you would have got more resposes.

go the apexi

its dry type easy to clean and lasts for yonks

and yes it does filter the best

I've got a HKS on mine, but saying that I'd go with a K&N or Apexi one if I bought another one.

I got a K&N panel filter. Nice and quiet.

The Blitz has the worst filtration. The HKS has the worst flow and the 2nd worst filtration. Go the K&N (IMHO).

I've heard from a very good source that certain cheap cotton/oil pod filters made in 3rd world countries are able to make more power than any other filter. Able to make more power than even an open pipe! Don't have any brand names, but they're the style that have a funnel shaped opening on the end. Don't believe me? Ask SST.

K&N panel filter for me.

Foam filters do have their uses if that use is to filter out rocks and small birds only (IMHO)

its either apexi or trust

i have nuthin against kn it's just i personally dun like em

Grandenko's right.

I put one of these "Apexi" copies on my old S15 and tried it against 2 other brands on SSTs dyno. The cheaper one actually made more power than the open pipe!

I've still got it at home and you can try it out for nought if you want to wait until mid December when I get back to Perth.

I typed almost the same thing in the other air filter thread,

APEXi - Evolution R, speak to Mao, about $160 bolts on, small little thing, sounds fantastic, takes about 10 mins to install if not less. just make sure you remember that the air flow meter bolts on the outside of the air box, not the ones on the inside, they are welded on nuts. heres me spraying that loosening stuff on a welded on bolt, should have unbolted the AFM to begin with , lol
