Apexi! What About Apexira?

[West]

I bought two Apexi replacement air filter for my car last week off one of the sponsor here.

Got the delievery, quite happy with the goods didn't have time to bolt them on till las weekend. Pulled my old ones out, had them old and new one side by side just to found out my old one is so much better quality than the new one.

My old Apexi has mesh out and in side, much better filter material much more detalis. The new one only has mesh outside, filter material is made off some paper that looks like won't last six months, poor details and most importantly it said Apexi made by APEXIRA!&^@)*^@)#^)

What the fcuk is Apexira? Made in korea too! Not that i'm worry about where its made of, it just that i dont' know wherethe Apexira or Apexera is a fake copy of the real Apexi.

Anyone has any ideas of ever come across this? I dont' want to brag, flame anyone before i found out exactly what's going on, also so that i can warn others too.

Cheers

www.apexi.com will have all the answers.

I don't like the whole 'made in Korea' thing...

all the biggest workshops offload the mass production to sweatshops - that's just the way it is (with all industry)

HKS do a lot of their stuff out of thailand - pretty sure they don't write that on the box though

there are only two important considerations

1. R&D - a safe bet in most cases

2. quality control

I brought an AVC-R earlier in the year, and my brother brought a Power FC as well. On both boxes was a sticker claiming that in 2005 Apexi was changing its name to Apexera. Can't remember why though, new owners perhaps? Neither the AVC-R or Power FC were found to be of poor quality.
