i dont know about the performance of this filter.. i also wanted to buy this filter but i bought the k&n one instead coz there was no stock for this filter.

what i do know is.. you should NOT pay more than RM230 for this filter.
Ksp Power is selling this filter + adapter for Rm230

based on a lot of ppl and my own experience....apexi has a very very very good filteration but there's a lot of restriction also.

don't make ur decision after looking at the site...do more research, if it's the best filter, would u think that it costs 230 only? I doubt it

HKS powerflow, the cheapest i can find without adapter is 280
ApexI Dual Funnel, 230 with adapter
KNN around 300-400 without adapter

KNN is the best filter around, with the best filteration and least restriction it can go

but HKS has the least restriction among them, that's why most of the japanese modders go for HKS powerflow, it has the worst filteration though

 

[ModMaestro]

filteration and restrictions are inversely related. you can't expect a lot of airflow when you want to catch as much dirt as possible from the air.

to sidestep a bit, what about BMC filters?

 

[Zeroed]

K&N puts oil on their filters though. This way they can probably achieve better filtration while having less restriction.
But personally I have been using Apexi for some time, no regrets. Removed the filter once after more than a year of usage, the inside part remained dust-free.

in a mag i have the apexi filter was best for NA application... for turbo the blitz filter using metal mesh thingy was best (forgot the name laa)... but this was in terms of power gain... dunno about filteration...

 

[huakenny]

actually....all branded open-port filter r good enuf to gain power....bout air restriction..it all bout ur car cc...

if ur car cc is high.then u gotta use biger filter...ur car cc small....use small filter lo

las time i use knn 3" in my evo3....the rpm cannot reach 3000..the car wil jerk...not enuf air i guess.....so i use hks filter...oso like tat...so at last i use knn 6"...work perfectly until now

maintenance is important...each brand filter difer maintenace....hks muz change sponge...knn muz wash n re-oil.....my 2 cent

 

[saltydogg]

in my honest opinion, K&n should be the one to buy. think about it.. all they've been doing for the past 20 years is making air filters. they should be pretty damn good at it.

other brands got alot of other products, they dont specialize

 

[bvalve]

any1 got used this filter b4?and how many holes does your filter got?what i know there is 4,8 & 10 holes.

does anyone use this type b4?is a 10 holes apex'i filter.same with this kind of filter gasket.

My little review on the apexi air filter (power intake).

I tested 2 other air filters other than the apexi.

Simota - Worst one i could think of i guess. Design of the mesh is identical as the K&N, but it doesn't come oiled up for the filtration.

K&N 6 inch neck - Well, not bad? I guess i should leave my words unspoken till i explain on my experience with the apexi power intake.

Apexi Power Intake - More responsive, that little weight on the pedal does more than it does with other air filters. I think it's more to apexi's design that steals response. I tried to compare K&N and Apexi at all around rev (4g92p), response was more comparable at the low and mid revs. high, i'm not too sure, they could be almost the same.

That's my story of experience. I'd like to know if anyone made a comparision the apexi power intake and HKS, performancewise?

 

[beatnik]

anybody knows where to get apexi drop in?
