where the f do you get it besides ebay.

You have to have an account to get it from apexi or one of
their distributors.

No, you'd have to get an intake tube for that, you could get the
K&N drop in filter for your stock airbox though.

as long as the diameter of the pipe is the same you can use any bypass valve.

That place is a major ripoff.

The bypass valve is a waste of money imo, if you're that worried about it I
would just go with a short ram intake.

a short ram is a short ram, it's the filter that makes the difference.

i bought the apexi filter without any adapter or anything and made my own flange adapter that bolts to the filter itself and then can be clamped to the tube. in my opinion, apexi is the best you can get, filtration and air flow. search for the reviews about it..

so you used stock piping and basically made the apexi filter fit, right?
if you can just tell me weather or not its easy/decently noticeable power (I know its just a filter, but still) then I might do this and save a few bucks on something else

The sound it makes outweighs the newfound power it puts out. I have an Ebay special intake ($20), took of the filter that came with it, put on a stainless steel mesh air filter, similar to the apexi version, and that cost me $45 at AutoZone. But if I recommended a filter to someone, it would be a K&N. ....so I made mine for $65

If you get the Filter cone and attach it to the Stock intake - does it come with fasteners or what? I'm not sure how that all attaches?
