Default Comptech Icebox w/ apexi filter

would this yield greater gains due to the design of the cone???



also would it fit?

The second P is the original topic is for "performance"

IMO a filter is a filter

the comptech filter does flow slightly better than most cotton ones....

I'd run that or K/N

K&N is one of the best in terms of fit&finish and longevity, Stay with the leader in Airfilters.

A filter is a filter but flow characteristics are different depending on the filter element(s) and how well it manages the airflow and maintains velocity into the intake piping. Not all are equal. The more air an engine breathes from modifying the flow characteristics, the more crucial it becomes to suck in as much air as smoothly as possible.

My educated guess: both the K&N and the Comptech filters are much larger (appx twice as long) than then Apex filter, which yeilds much more surface area. More surface area = better flow, so stick with the larger filter and you should have better performance.

I remember looking at a home-review of several intakes, and the Apexi won in terms of flow and filtration. I guess it's just a matter of fitment, *shrugs*
