I'm planning to get the frankencar intake but i'm not sure which filter to get with it. A black midpipe with the K&N filter is $147 the same midpipe with the Apex-i filter is $207. is it worth the $50 to go with the Apex-i?

 

I think so.

 

ne body else

 

get the K&N filter, buy the monsterflow filter, then sell me your K&N filter.

 

nobody else?

 

intakes generally are about the same, the difference (if any) between the two different filters would be 1hp tops....
i personally prefer completely stainless steel intake filter...
cleaning intakes is a pain, but if its stainless steel just use a air gun and water.

 

If you can get a stillen cheap get it. I have frankencar/stillen and its great, stillen has a k&n filter but with the stillen adaptor.

 

I say get the K&N. the apexi is only good for 30k until you junk it

 

I want to get this setup too, is it louder than other intakes or about the same, I am looking for an intake that doesn't require drilling and keeps quiet until you step hard on the gas, if possible.

 

Who cares. What you can't spend the extra $70 or so dollars for a new one in 30,000 miles. I don't know if it was in my head but i had both on and felt it more with the apexi in. Anyway $70 every couple years isn't alot. I'm sure that even if you clean it the K&N just won't be the same as it was when it was new.

And its been dyno proven to give 3-4 more horsepower over the K&N.

 

70 bucks every three years is a waste of 70 dollars. Get the k&n and stillen, their are never probelms with k&n and their are problems with apexi. Just pick one its just an intake filter.

 

What problems?

 

so what is the stillen if I should get K&N ans stillen, I thought the stillen was an air filter, is it just an adapter?
