i have one installed and trust me they wont disapoint ya and according to Apexi, there is a 10% reduction in pressure drop by utilizing an upper and lower funnel. The Apexi Power Intake reduces air turbulence within the filter and creates smooth air flow into the throttle body. check this website out

does the sound from the apexi pod sound like a huge sucking vacuum. coz that's what my intake sounds like.

dunno what brand mine is. it's a mesh pod, looks kinda similar to the apexi.

They sound awsome, mine sounds like a jet taking off. BTW how do you clean them? Since its a dry type, unlike K&N and BMC?

Yeah its a vacuum like noise - but its not too loud. I just notice though that you can feel the turbo more with that on for some reason. Same thing with the car i test drove at kamikaze, All it had was the pod on it, and i could really feel the turbo kick in......

I dont think you clean them at all...they should last for ages. the linked site says its "zero maintenance"

Before you buy off ebay consider Kudos's offering, same price and aussie delivered, not a shonky guy and express posted to your door. cant complain with that. Just got mine last week and im uber happy. Better than the HKS one i had on b4

just got mine in a few days ago. Seems more quiet then the HKS one, but I think I feel a bit more 'power' in it? Or maybe cos its the cold day....

Got the apexi pod on my na.

worth it, but i can't really hear my induction noise.. can't notice it until i have my bonnet up.

[eMsta]

the induction noise in the NA's cant be heard due to the fact that there is no turbo.....

Same thing with my bros s2000 - but when u have it open, and if u press the gas - u can hear it go 'whoosh'

[TRUBLSM]

"whoosh" LOL.. sad.

[frankxinyu]

i have them on my GTR, and they work perfectly......

compared to my old Blitz ones, these are much better. worth every cent.

Exposed pod filters are defects in NSW, how do people get around this?

I was thinking of getting a panel type that goes in the standard box. Do they offer the same perfomance witht he "woosh" sound to?

[Craved]

less whoosh sound, but still good and not defectable

[siksII]

very noisy pod, makes noise on the slightest throttle opening, zero maintenance means that when it gets dirty u chuck it out and buy a new one, so not cheap in the long run. didnt feel any power increase.

does anyone know where to get a bracket to hold the pods up? mine came without one.

I can highly recommend the kudos guys deal on the apexi filters it arrived damn quick after payment!
