this is an excellent filter. For those of you running high boost or planning to, be very selective with your air filter choice. Those cheap filters that come with the DRAG kits are not a great choice. Though they work fine on low boost apps, when you start really making some power, these cheapie filters can not only be a restriction, but can also come apart and destroy your turbo. I've seen it almost happen twice in the last two weeks, and 2 other times it did destroy the turbo on friends cars. The Apex filter will not give you such problems, and is an excellent flowing filter as well. Hell, I might even jump in on this group buy

 

can you give us details, size, and specs on the Apex-i filter??

 

Here is another test I found on the internet:

And, if you get the universal filter, you are going to have to rig up something like this guy did with his supra. Looks pretty easy, just want you guys to know it isn't a direct bolt on.

what about fitment issue ? how wide are they in comparison with the K&N, I am just gonna use an 90 degrees elbow. I don;t feel like making a long extension going over the upper rad hose, since I have ABS unit there...

stan

 

do they make one that will fit a 4inch pipe?

How big is the opening on the universal filter?
Can you get it in different sizes?
This does not need oil huh?

 

Universal opening is 3" Only one size is available. No oil needed. Looks like there is plenty of interest for these. I will order a bunch tomorrow, have them on Wednesday and get you all the dimensions you are asking about.

I don't think there will be a fitment issue. There is a lot of room to be used off to the passanger side.

I'll take the measurements and let you guys decide though.

 

Just so I can gauge how many to order, send me an e-mail (kyle@ks-motorsports.com) if you think you want one.

If you know you want one, send $85 to paypal@ks-motorsports.com I'll ship them out as soon as I get them.
PLEASE INCLUDE APEX'i FILTER IN THE SUBJECT AND YOUR SHIPPNIG INFO.

Wow thanks for the info. I was wanting a Blitz filter but after seeing the tests i think i am going to go with an APEXi filter now.

 

kyle, you should add that filter as an option for you turbo kit group buy

 

good idea

 

i'm a thinker

 

im interested

 

i have one on my integra. good **** here guys. their dual funnel design rules!!

 

Can you get one with a 4" opening?

 

damn... i knew the K&N wasn't a bad filter after all... but shiet-the Blitz and HKS filter..? what a friggin' surprise..! thanks for the information though... if i ever get a new filter it's going to be A'PEXi...

 

does anybody know how long this filter is from top to bottom?

 

 

Anybody know where i can get one that will fit a 4" opening. I know K&N has one that's got a 4" opening and is nice and short, but i was going to see who else might make one like that. The intake side of my turbo is crammed enough as it is already, i don't think i have room to make an adapter and have a filter on without hitting something.

 

with the universal filter you will have to fabricate a "tube" on the back of it like the guy with the supra did. You could make it whatever size you like. I will get measurements for you guys wednesday.

 

if you buy the integra "kit" it will have a 3" inlet
just FYI.

 

this filter is relatively small..its close to 5 inches tall..and 6 inches wide at the end of the filter and 4.5 inches wide, top of the filter.....universal application needs filter adaptor...something to attach too..otherwise this filter is the best

 

id like one, dunno how soon though. i have to fab something up though cause my turbo is from maxrev




as u can see space is tight
