Lately i was thinking to change my Stille filter that i have for many years and go with something else but i dont know yet which one im going to get. Theres lots of air filters over there. Post here what kind of air filter you have in your car.... if you can post pics even better!!! anyone has any experience with K&N cone air filter?

Mine:

 

AEM Dryflow.



/thread

 

that one you have??

 

I have an apexi, been using it for 30,000+ miles and have only had to shake it clean. Sounds awesome and built in velocity stack. Pricey though.

 

AEM dryflow, apexi, and Amsoil are probably the most preferred on this site, the three A's of the org. I personally have a blox because I have a blox velocity stack but really there was no need for this thread. You're lucky I'm in a good mood and not flaming your ***

 

Apexi dry flow here. Integrated velocity stack/bellmouth, and the opposite end of the filter has a tapered edge that directs airflow downward inside the filter.

 

does Apexi fits on frankencar mid-pipe??? i guess yes right?

 

And yes, it did increase my mpg(according to the cars calculator).

 

a'pexi will work, yes.

I prefer the AEM Dryflow because it's a little cheaper, and negates the need for oil.

I have a Dryflow on my G coupe.

Only thing I have to do is blow it clean with an air nozzle every fourth or fifth oil change.

 

If it's a 3in pipe, then yeah it should. When I bought mine, it came with the Berk intake kit. The two filter options were the AEM and the Apexi, and I chose the Apexi. The filter actually came in a pop charger kit with the pipe, and it included an adapter that bolts to the bottom of the filter. Here's a pic of the kit I took before I put it together and installed it.

 

i just checked apexis site and i cant find for maxima..... is 350z intake fits?

 

Apexi doesn't make intakes for our cars specifically. The intake I own is a Berk intake, with an Apexi filter. I ordered it from Evasive Motorsports. The Berk intake I bought was with the optional Apexi filter/pop charger, which is a universal fit. The Apexi pop charger part number is 500-A025. I went out to my car and took a few pics of it.

 

ok i found the apexi filter. Cant find Berks pipe.... (i wanna change my yellow gay pipe)

 

I went the the cheaper route and just dropped in a K&N replacement filter. Might look into fogging this airbox in the futire if possible, something we did on our 318ti's.

 

There's someone here on the Org that makes midpipes, I just can't remember who.

Here's the Berk intake kit. The picture in the link isn't correct, it's showing the 00-01 De-K intake for some reason.

AEM Dryflow here

 

damn thats expensive tho!!!!!!!! thank you brother for your time...

APEXI filter (not bad price)

$200ish bucks for a complete intake isn't too bad, considering how much other intakes for other cars are selling for. However you can piece together your own intake with a pop charger for less. I'm still trying to think of what Org member makes those midpipes. I don't want to drop anyone's name and it not be correct.

 

Knight_yyz

 

right now im looking for a filter and change the yellow pipe on my car.

 

That's it! Send Knight a PM and ask him if he has any of his midpipes available.

 

knight mentioned somewhere else he is too busy now and will have more mid pipes in a couple of months. I like to think he is too busy making the engine mounts. Search for that thread "new prototype" and buy the mounts too.

 

Yup

 

i sent PM to Knight so lets see...... does anyone knows anything about weapor-R intakes?

 

 

Greaddy airex big fitler, one of the best filters you can get..

 

Foam filters are garbage. They have poor filtration and reduced airflow compared to the AEM and Apexi filters.

 

You've gotta remember, Clashez only buys top of the line stuff for his car. Just like his merrel bended OBX muffler.

Guess that means that our AEM and apex'i filters are junk compared to what he has!

 

Yes, but the mid-pipe isn't what determines fitment. It's the adapter.

Anyway, this is the old powdercoated Frankencr mid-pipe right here on my car.

 

Apexi makes a number of different sizes for their adapter. That's not the right one, as you can see by the way you've stretched the coupler to fit.

At the very least you should buy a coupler that reduces diameter on both ends. At best, get a proper sized adapter.

And worm clamps... yuck.

 

ok, the adapter is the thing behind/before filter?

 

I've replaced two of the worm clamps on the other end of the intake. I haven't got around to replacing these ones yet. As far as the coupler stretching over the provided Apexi unit, the Apexi outer diameter is thicker, even though the internal diameter is the same as the MAF adapter, which is thinner walled and doesn't have as thick of an outer diameter, so it's not stretched on.

 

I think he just like them tight. Worm clips aren't the prettiest but so aren't most of our engine bays. I just looked at some of your under hood pics and I am astonished at how clean it is

 

YOU RIGHT !!!! What the heck are those guys with 700+whp skylines thinking... I do agree with you most foam filter aren't that great, But the greaddy airex is a diffrent sto

ry.

 

The only reason the turbo guys run foam filters is to reduce the risk of implosion. Ever seen an air filter get sucked into a spinning turbo? Not a pretty sight.

 

HaHa why you goin to make me go off topic.... I got the twin loop cuz i like the look and the way it makes my car sound...

Back on topic apexi is good to and thats the route i would have went if i didn't get the greaddy filter

 

Alot of those cars get sponsored, so if Greddy is one of them, then the owner has to use Greddy parts, hence the filter.

 

I didn't think of that. The foam would get chewed to bits if it imploded into the turbo.

 

I'm talking about private owners check the skyline forums, even alot of the 240 guy are running them. there is a fleet of skylines that rome the streets here in TN and they all run that filter. some even the apexi but mostly gready.

 

If they want to run a foam filter, it's their choice to do so. I would rather run a stock paper filter on my car over a foam one any day. There's a reason why foam filters are used on cheap push lawnmowers. They're cheap.
