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

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.

      Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.

      Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.

      f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
