Frankencar: Apexi vs. K&N

I've decided to get a Frankencar intake.

What is the difference between the K&N and the Apexi filter? Is it really worth the extra $55 to get the Apexi? I'll also be adding a Budget Y-pipe and a Cattman cat-back, if that matters. Also plan on getting Don's VB mod done.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Apexi-i

I went from a ultra cheap nasty filter to apexi so my love for the apexi is probably more than a previous K&N user.

Actually, No...It's not the same $h!T!!!
Frankencar did some dynos and the results showed that the Apexi performed better...

Personally, I got the K&N....

Instead of waiting for ppl to reply, use the search function at the
top right...easiest way.

maxspeed96CT: You gotta come correct before replying so do the research before you give out the wrong information.


bk_r0x: I have the Monsterflow and the Apexi and I like both. Flo_Boy is correct about the dynos also. Apexi showed about a 3HP gain over the K&N when tested on the 3.5L VQ.
