Does anyone know where I can get hold of one of these for MY03.
Some previous thread suggests this is one if not THE best direct Panel Filter replacements? Looking to buy in the UK is poss..

 

Not worth mucking about finding one. If you've got a new(ish) car that is still under manufacturer's warranty, the best filter(s) to fit (in order) would be the STi, K&N or Green.

The STi won't violate your warranty, K&N shouldn't (and they say they'll help you fight the case if a dealer refuses a warranty claim) and neither should the Green.

 

The APEXi panel filter is a deep pleated paper filter (as the STi JAP version) so i cant see why it would be any different to K&N, Green if there is a warranty issue?? Surely there can’t be a rule for one AFTERMARKET product and not another... being a paper element unlike the K&N surely the APEXi filter has to be a safer option.. ??

 

I bought my Apexi filter from these they are local to me, but they may do mail order.. http://www.tuningjapanese.co.uk.

Hope this helps you out.

 

The Apexi, was apparently in a group test and came top with good filtration and very good air-flow.

That's the rumour I heard from here http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...52#post3149752

 

This test is for induction kits's but I expect they use the same materials

Thanks for all this Scott... a real help. The APEXi filter looks good to me. Just hope they’re not too oil based to create any probs.
