blitz or apexi

[mafiabear]

another noob question from me =) which open pod air filter is better?apexi or blitz?or any other brand?or issit its almost the same?

 

[JaHaX]

as long as not a foam/sponge based like the HKS mushroom type, u are safe

used to use apex'i dual funnel ram but was advised from another kaki that i need a bigger one, now im using sard sport ex

 

[BNR]

Was being told that Blitz ones are easily maintained, very little dirt, just blow clean every now and then. However, there is also another story saying that it is clean because most of the dust/ dirt was being sucked into the engine, thus resulting not having a healthy engine in the long run... Myself using Blitz... so now also scared...

 

[iexit]

BNR, your right, i use Blitz too, all the dirt go right in LOL…

Jahax, how come HKS no good? 3 layer is good wert... i'm supporter. The apexi one very short life span woh

OK but if you are willing to try, go for AEM, try it out, new paper technology, washable etc... cheap! And I heard its good too

BNR - What's wrong with 'HKS style mushroom filters'?

 

[BNR]

PIMPIM, I'm afraid u asked the wrong guy... I didn't mentioned anything about HKS, I think u are refering to JAHAX.
Anyway, since u asked, I think its because sponge type filters tends to harden and breaks into ashes and therefore being sucked into the engine, correct me if i'm wrong Jahax....

Hahaha I need glasses! :stupid:

 

[ehdrian]

i think K&N is ok..

 

[BNR]

i think K&N is ok..

Yup, I believe K&N will be great since its so dirty everytime, that means it could actually filter out a lot of dust and particles....

All filter have a lifespan (no matter what the box tells you) both KNN and HKS will become inefficient after its lifespan. When i was using HKS i change it every year (about <15k) so i have never had ash-like breakage, remember to buy ori also lah

some one posted this loooong ago before. maybe a sticky is needed.

no filter la shiok....turbo sounds damn ganas.

 

[Blood Red]

zero maintenance? wow...i guess i have to change my filter to apexi then.

i was told the same thing BNR. i myself used to be a big fan of HKS mushroom filter, suction is amazing but it tends to brittle when it ages.

the funny thing is that, japs love to use it. all the japs performance cars that i used to buy came equip with it

 

[cmng]

yea.. they come with it. and they change it frequently the sponge
how many here change the sponge frequently ?

 

[cosmicgate]

i've only use apexi for all my babies,worked the best imho but the problem is it can be sooooooo freakin' dirty in just awhile and become an eye sore to the engine bay. Any one knows if one can use KnN filter cleaner to clean apexi filters?

 

[BLaCkHoWLiNG]

I tried cleaning the Apexi filters with K&N liquid cleaner.. big mistake... .. u can see the filter like squeezing itself in whenever u pull the throttle cable on the engine bay...

Mine is changed type of filters but the tendency for people to neglect changing it frequently enough or not using original parts.
