Attn Franken Car Intake owners! Need opinion before purchase!

I was debating for a while weather I should get the PR CAI, Injen CAI, or the Frankencar Hybrid. After making the decision of going with Frankencar now I have yet another debate! Please help me choose between the K&N or Apex-i filter! Thanks....

Yeah that one test showed that the Apexi's filters better than K&N and also grants an extra horse. I just want to get 2nd, 3rd, and 4ths opinions. Isn't the maintnance easier? Anyways keep em' suggestions coming....thanks

all filters do the same thing filter air going into the engine
so just get one
it won't matter much about the hp..or "performance" it'only sucking in air 3" not more
the filter can have more surface area like the Stillen or JWT pop charger but..still filtering air..

The Apex-i utilizes funnels to smooth out the airflow going into the TB, the K&N does not.

I went with the Apex'i just because of the fact that I didn't want to do the routine maintenance on the K&N. (Not like its much anyways) But, I'm throughly satisfied with it.

Have fun!!!

Well I placed my order. I'm pretty new to PayPal so I'm not sure if I did it correctly. What puzzles me is that I don't have any money in my PayPal account, but when I went to make the payment it said funds would be withdrawn from my checking account. Am I okay? Or do I need to transfer money from my checking account to my Paypal account manually, then wait for it to transfer (which takes a couple of days), and then pay with funds in PayPal? Hopefully the funds will be withdrawn directly through my checking. Can anyone clarify?

I got mine with K&N filter cuz Apexi was taking a long *** time shipping the filters to FrankenCAR and I think some people are still waiting for their intakes.
