Apexi Vs Aem for Berk Intakes ??

Hey

ive just ordered my Berk Intake and im wondering whether there is a siginifigant difference with the standard AEM filter that comes with it as opposed to the Apexi air filter that is an add on

Is there any large difference in sound? or are the only main difference DYNO results?

thanks for any input
i couldnt find anything regarding the matter when i searched

AEM= lasts forever, cleaning required

Apexi = throw away at 50k miles and buy a new one ($70+)

Performance and sound will be the same.

i've had my AEM filter for 700 miles now and i like it so far. bryan switched to AEM's dryflow from the K&N unit since oiling isn't required

Now an intake 'system' on the other hand...

Damn, and I'm a firm believer in velocity stacks. Thats why I stand by the POP charger.

man....is that all you do is post negative comments, every SINGLE post you make most of the time is usually NEGATIVE and sometimes NOT needed! IM NOT stating that you dont give good information, because you do give good information. But the fact still remains that YOU ARE SO DAMN NEGATIVE and ignorant for no apparent reason. I DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO YOU, I POSED A SIMPLE QUESTION THAT NO ONE ASKED, I didnt deserve to have a bunch of negative remarks thrown in this thread. I KNOW WHAT THE RULES are here and what you fet flamed for in terms of THREAD CREATIONS. I havent started donating yet because of the ONE REASON....(TAKE A GUESS)

I KNOW HOW TO USE THE SEARCH ENGINE BASED SEARCHING SYNTAX for filtering out THIS FORUM.

So why post if all your going to do is shoot negative statements and smart remarks....Any time i ask for something here i always use "thank you", and show my appreciation on the topic that you all have helped me out with.

Yeah, look at the first reply. I answered the OP's question. Now the remaining posts have all been wastes of bandwidth (including this one).

Actually false information isn't very helpful at all.

WELL ACTUALLY let me tell you something....the fact that a post is created DOES not consume bandwidth IT ONLY CONSUMES storage capacity....and in terms of storage capacity A TYPICAL POST will only consume 5-6 kilobytes...simply because most of it is TEXT....now when talking in terms of bandwidth. SINCE ITS CLEAR TEXT the fact that a few more data packets DOES NOT CONSUME ANY MORE BANDWIDTH because ITS ALMOST SIMILIAR TO JUST SIMPLY LOADING A WEB PAGE
