What should i get with my frankencar and what are the differences/improvments?

 

I have an injen with apexi and i love it. I noticed a that the car sounded better after i put on the apex. It also seemed like it was breathing easier. I am happy

 

Igor....if you order frankencar, prepare to wait 6 months for it...apparently they make these by hand at their leisure...

 

i dunno what to do!!!

 

I'd go with a K&N style filter personally...

 

IMO go with the stillen intake from www.southwestautoworks.com

they ship it right away and it makes a nasty growl at WOT...


(sorry for the shameless southwest plug)

 

any1 have a pic of the stillen installed?

 

Don't go stillen. The midpipe helps the HP and sound. I have the Frank w/Apexi and if I had it to do over again, I would do the K&N and save the money. Or I would do the injen. People say that the Frank is better, but I was pulled in 4th gear by an 03 with an injen as the only motor mod.

 

I'd say go with the Apexi filter.. It's a great filter and does an excellent job..

 

thats cuz u's a granny-shiftin ricer white boy from TX..

 

We were even til about 4000rmp in 4th. Then he slowly kept pulling away. Bring your Auto Yankee *** down to TX and we can see what is up.

:-D

 

Maybe the backpressure muffler u got slowed u down?

 

well i just ordered the Injen again

 

Good choice.

 

thanks for taking my order

 

 

here we go again.... wasnt there a big discussion on what brand to pic like a couple of months ago?
anyways... both filters perform the same... there is barely any difference..
go for whatever is cheaper...

 

Southwest Autoworks is 4 miles down the street from me

 

Slap a bigger K&N on the Injen. The filter that comes with it is tiny!!

I just put a larger K&N on my Injen. It's the biggest you can get and fit into the space if you have an auto tranny. If you have a manual tranny you can probably go bigger. The part # for the filter I got is RR-3001. It comes with a custom end cap, either red, blue, or chrome. RR-3001 is a red end cap, RR-3002 is blue end cap, and RR-3003 is a polished aluminum end cap. The filter is 6 inches in diamter and 5 inches long.

igor, i told you that you wouldn't end up with a frankencar. injen all the way baby!

 

You should swing by the store some time and check it out.

 

Where is the best place to buy the Apexi filter? I'd like to replace it on my OEM Injen air intake.

 

I did today but I missed you by like 3 min

I saw you turning west onto Bell
I was the white Max turning south on Cave Creek

I'll try and make it there before 4pm next time

BTW the guy at the back desk on the right... straight back... next time you see him... tell hime that the cams for the 350z work on the maxima
He'll know what i mean...


nice shop!!!

 

So you are saying that my straight through muffler PowerTech is giving too much backpressure? That is confusing because without the muffler mounted, you can see through it.

 

Did the K&N filter RR-3001 fit on the injen with the injen ring clamp? or was their a diff. way of putting it on?

 

Igor, if you're looking for a bigger filter for your Injen we have those also.

 

Im gonna use the Injen K&N for now...then later i might upgrade.

Did u get a tracking # for me yet? i sent an email to u at steve@south......com

 

Will have for you in about 30 mins.

 

email or PM me

The stock muffler is the most free flow there is -it has small chanbers that when filled open up and release continuously-
its interior design is actually revolutionary -there are pics somewhere

Most aftermarket mufflers are basically for sound/looks- it fill up-out comes out a dronny sound- doesnt nescessarily make your car faster-
alot of people lose power putting in an aftermarket muffler-
specially if its not part of a cat back system-
Shyt just cause it fits dont mean it works!

Specially magnaflow-they good mufflers- but they are designed with
universal applications in mind-

 

Just takes one 3-inch hose clamp.

 

Is the Apex-i filter smaller then the injen filter?

 

No it's bigger. The Injen filter is tiny.

 

OK will it fit on my injen since I have an auto there's that guestion if it would fit next to the tranny. And where can I purchase one.

 

i just bought one for my injen from frankencar.com...

 

Love my Apexi

 

Yes it will fit. I had an Apexi on my 2k auto and fit no problem. You can purchase the filter with adapter at frankencar.com You can also purchase just the filter at optauto.com but you need an adaptor to fit it on the Injen so go with frankencar.com keep in mind you have to replace the filter every 30K miles. It gets expensive....

 

replace every 30k?? yikes... cant u clean it or something?

 

I personally like the Apexi filter better. I've had both and the sound definately improved and the car appeared to breathe better.

 

I could probably put my K&N from my place racing intake on my injen.
