Guest Enzo Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 when are you gona get the other inlet mani on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miracle411 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 A good choice in filter, i think it sounds great and does wonders at this time of year, you will notice a difference in acceleration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 have you noticed any drop in performance?hmm, havent really done much driving yet, (been doing uni work all day!) it seems to be alot better than the hks style ractive one i had before, not as bad flat spots, altho, seems to dry up on power past 4800-5000rpm.when are you gona get the other inlet mani on?im still waiting for it to arrive!!! it should have been here today, so should be here tomorrow! A good choice in filter, i think it sounds great and does wonders at this time of year, you will notice a difference in acceleration.gotta admit, it does sound good!! but in all honesty, i heard a swift gti with one the other night, and it sounded awesome, so i just wanted it for the noise!! i'll probably be back using the airbox again soon no doubt!!Rich.

lobotomy Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 You can get the filters without a car specific kit for about £25+shipping on ebay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilal Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 i have 1 too aint fitted it yet though lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 You can get the filters without a car specific kit for about £25+shipping on ebay.thats where i got mine from.i used my old ractive filter base and adapted it to fit the apexi (just when everyone thought i had gone and bought a bolt on mod!!! i dont think theres a single thing i havent adapted to fit on my car!!!) it took a bit of time, but its worth it.how much that set you backthink it was £44 shipped, only took 4 days!! bought from 5400rpm off ebay.cant beat a bit of induction roar!! the piperX is also very good for that!!yeah i had a piperx one, but the oil in it buggered up one of the senders somewhere.... so i ditched that... it did sound nice though!!so far ive tried 8 filters on my car, and this one is by far the best (apart from the k&n panel filter), unlike alot of other filters ive tried, it doesnt make the throttle too twitchy, (driving in traffic was always a pain with the piperx) an it doesnt seem to have too bad a flatspot at low revs.Rich.

shelly_star Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I had the Blitz SUS in my SR, and that makes a nice roar for the car, sounds better than the other rude boy ones i reckon. Currently got this Apexi one in the Glanza, can't really hear it to be honest, because it gets drowned by the other loud noises in the engine. lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletno1fan Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 is that other noises that us young n/a'ers dont have? hehe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kib05 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hey Rich,I have been looking for an induction kit for my sr and saw the apexi on www.funkystyling.com.I bet its shit hot mate! Where did you get it from and how much did it cost you?Kyle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 hay mate, have a good read in this post and there are two different sources stated above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletboy Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 i have the pipercross on mine sounded really good but now i cant hear it because of my exhaust so might getsomething thats more of a power gain than a noise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Ok I've been thinkin of one of these for a few months now and after talkin to Rich on msn I've ordered one as part of my crimbo pressie from my folks. Prob get powerflow to custom fit its ass!!!!! Funkystyling are doin it for £65 excluding postage, 5400rpm is sellin them on ebay for £26.99 plus £20 potage to the UK...so works out ALOT cheaper despite postage!!!! I have the K&N panel filter but i can still kinda hear the sad little note of my engine despite my very noisy exhaust, dont think i'll honestly notice a performance diff of like 2hp or wotever it is, its not like i'm colin McRae so i'd rather have the noise!!!
