Apexi vs. Bonez intake

Do they make Apexi power intakes for s4 n/a?
Are they any better than the bonez intake?

1990 is the earliest model listed on their application chart, but their intake will work just fine for any n/a FC.

There was a thread about an hour ago dicussing this very issue. Search.

we should have a TII (NAs with T2 swaps as well) forum, an N/A forum, and a Turboed Na forum.
I hate clickin on half the ****** threads and they are for NAs. Not hatin on the slower cars or anything, but its a waste of time.

then why did you crap/post that in this thread instead of in the suggestions forum.

And regardless if Turbo or non turbo... the air filter is the same, so I don't even know where you are coming from.

Don't you mean hatin' on the more reliable, better handling cars?

P.S. I know that reliability depends on the owner more so than if the car is turbocharged or naturally aspirated.

the kit they list for the S5's has a casted metal piece that fits the nozzle on the air flow meter for a nice seal, and the filter screws onto the opposite side of the metal piece. it would be quite interesting to get that piece onto an S4 air flow meter without some kind of adapter. the filter that comes with the kit doesn't have a flexible neck that you could clamp down around an S4 afm adapter, and the adapter most likely would not fit the hole on the casted piece correctly. that kinda rules the kit out for an S4. if you really like apexi you could try to get just a universal filter...but i don't know if they make them or where to get them
