Wow the Apexi did very well there.

Thats why I got this one.

loltim · 24 Nov 2007 at 16:44

Meh, as long as it stops bricks and leaves getting through

I remember that review, it's one of the reasons I bought an Apexi when I had my MR2

Yeah, but that is just for THAT particular car. Another car maybe better suited to a different filter!

Hmm, guess which filter came installed on my GT-Four....

I got an apexi from seeing that review and countless times reading how good they are

How the heck does ANYONE think a non-oiled stainless steel mess of the first one in that test actually FILTER anything??!

I'm sure it would stop large boulders etc. getting through.

A lot of the time it also depends on the intake tract from filter to engine, something that gives a straighter path for the air should be better

Bends are bad mmkay.

so which one of these filters introduces a bend into the tract exactly?

That review is as old as the Internet itself.

None, my response was geared to the argument that these power results could only be valid for the one car they were tested on. i.e. the restriction on another car might not be the filter at all, it could be to do with the tract after the filter. I'm also not talking about the filtration properties of each, just the power increase.

If all the filters were giving around the same increase then I'd guess that something else along the way is causing another restriction, replacing the stock filter setup is just the first step

Based on the filtration results though you'd have the Apexi everytime surely??
