Apex'i has THE best filters in the universe. High flow, and proven abilit yto clean the air. They are the only ones I know who claim both.

Here are some pics of my airbox that I made from 1.0 mm sheet aluminium and 1.5mm rubber as insulation. Also has a cold air feed from the fog light cover to the bottom of the airbox.
I also have a flyby vid of my car with just the Apexi intake, before i made the airbox. (But I don't have a direct linking host)
Bottom line is that among filters, the Apexi is one of the BEST. Filtration is also as very good as it is a paper filter, unlike those oiled filters which have huge gaps in the cotton layer.

The Apexi filter's low turbulence design gives it a low growl. Not a high pitched one like most CAI/SRIs. Plus, being a dry filter, there won't be any fouling of your sensors. That's a BIG PLUS.

On the Carb question, it is a yes and no. Yes because technically it does not require a carb exemption to be legal, but no because cops and smog people don't know what carb exemptoin is really required for therefore they may bust you for it.

So what does everybody think......, do you think we can get better gains out of this type of setup......., compared to that of a standard CAI / ice box........????? I kind of like the idea of having the filter under the hood (for easy access)...., while still funneling cold air to the enclosure straight from the fog light holes in the bumper...... I would really like to do this if it turns out it would be worth it... seems more safe/practical/gain-full.... what do we think???

are you saying that i comes with a heat-insulating airbox around it? or we would have to fabricate one ourselves?

I wonder if you could mount that inside the stock air box....., and connect the stock air box to the fog light hole in the bumper with large diameter pipe.... It might be to small but maybe it could be modified slightly......, it looks like the box that he created in rather small as well........?????

But what do people think of his design with his own airbox......, and air ram. I really would like to hear peoples comments about this type of setup.....

Well, the main thing is, Carb exemption is needed when parts where emissions related equipment are mounted are swapped out. Headers need to be approved because the O2 sensor is mounted there. Many intakes need to be approved because there are air temp sensors and vacuum hoses involved. Exhaust systems DO NOT need to be carb approved because they go on after the cat and there is actually no emissions equipment involved.
This intake does not relocate or involved changing the mounting of any sensors. See, the stock elbow is still used. So this part does not need to be approved. BUT, many cops just lump it all together. "Intakes need carb numbers."

BTW, here's a flyby vid of the apexi running as an exposed pod. Exhaust and everything else were stock.

Lol, whatever, it is not a sale thread, just a product announcement. Bump this post to the top as much as you like

Can anyone tell me how's BMC filter? Some people suggest me for this filter as they are so good, it's Masarati and Porsche OEM filter. How good are they, I don't know, but they are like $99.99USD each.
aaronng, do you know what's the size I should pick for Apexi filter?? I have the Injen CAI, where would you suggest to buy and how much?? THX

500-A025 : 80mm
500-A026 : 75mm
500-A027 : 70mm
Here's what it looks like:
Because of that adapter on the filter side, you'll find that the 75mm Apexi filter will sit lower than the Injen filter and increases your chances of hydrolock when driving through floods.
As to where and price, I'm in Australia. Can't help you there. But if I was in the US, I'd get from a trusted seller.

I drive EXTRA cautious when it's rainning, cause I'm afraid of hydrolock as well. I need to find this filter now.
BTW, did you stated that the Apexi's are paper filter? So they don't need to oil?? How to clean them?? any advice?

The ONLY think you need to be concerned about when it is raining is how deep of a puddle you drive through. Rain and moisture in the air are not going to hydrolock the engine. Neither is getting the filter a little damp. You risk hydrolock by driving through a puddle that is over a few inches deep and submerging the filter.
