Best Intake?

i am leaning towards the a'pexi intake. which one do you have and what would be the best for my NA.

is a cone filter always going to be the best?? I would like to get one of the best possible because after intake and exhaust mods I wont have much money to do mods for awhile, so I want this to make my car as fast as possible for the time being.

Theres a web site floating around that ran a couple of tests on the leading filters. If I remember correctly he Apexi filter was the best one at filtering dust particles and had better airflow. Maybe some1 can post the link if they have it.

Yeah Apex'i came first followed by K&N. I believe the other 2 were HKS and Blitz, neither of them did too well.

I've had my HKS for quite some time (over 4 years) without any problem. However if I had to do it all over again, I'll probably choose K&N because of the $$$!

BTW - Noticeable gains by a air filter are next to none!

Don't go w/ HKS. The filter element (small green stuffs) can break off and enter your intake, not a good thing especially from something that was meant to filter out stuffs. Just do a search for HKS Filter and you will know that this happened to many people.

Save your money, and get the KN. I am sure you won't feel the ddifference.
