Hi, which of these is best? The only reason i am getting rid of the standard airbox is to fit a fmic which requires its removal. The car is a my00 which i no has a sensitive maf, the car will be remapped once fitted. Cheers in advance for any views.

 

I'll say Apexi but check here and make up your own mind. I put an Apexi on mine when I went front mount.

 

Cheers thats just what i needed, looks like Apexi has to be the one. I had thought the K&N being bigger would be best, and i had heard that filtration on the Blitz was bad.

Cheers

a lot of people use the K&N for power builds....their filters seem to be very good indeed. APexi is also good though whichever one looks nicer!

 

What sort of power are they good for?

 

Depends on how much power you want. Just pick your power target and get the right size K&N cone for what you need. Green do the same custom sizing thing if you prefer green to maroon LOL.
They both make serious filters for competition use and either will work well.

 

As said above, pretty much anything you need there will be a filter for.

Im using a generic K&N from demon tweeks, which retains the stock inlet size of 78mm, its "rated" to 400bhp on an NA car, so should be easily good enough for 400 for a forced induction car.

There is plenty out there, and as said above GREEN also do the same...

 

Cheers for the responses, 400 would be nice but cant see me going past 350 which is my current target.

 

same here but then at least you know the filter isnt a restriction

 

I've got a MY97 with K&N 57i and i would say go for it mate, the sound is awsome aswell.

 

The apexi has advantage of being a dry type filter....no oiling. Sounds awesome too....i think thats to do with the dual funnel.

 

Pete,

I put a Blitz SUS on my MY99 & it killed the MAF.

I've run a K&N with a BRD remap for 2 years with no probs.

HTH
