There are a variety of intakes availible for our cars and I'm interested to know whether or not brand/price makes a bit of difference...





Apexi-$200??

Blitz-$150

K&N- $55

Ractive-$30

APC-$25



I'm specifically interested in these...



Thanks

Honestly, I hate APC, but its your best bet. They all perform w/in a fraction of HP gains of each other and its a difference in name & money...go for the cheaper one...

buy the hks filter adaptor and you can run any cone filter.

i had the hks filter on my car for about a year, no problems



mike

with those prices, eleminate the 2 top ones, too much money....K&N would be my choice, but I have the Ebay one

i got a ractive from the local ricer shop $20 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

He's got an s5...he doesn't need the bracket, just the filter https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

i was gonna say that but i forgot https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

I ran the K&N, before my engine popped, on the new one im runnin the HKS. Its shitty I bought all that, I could have saved a fortune and just ran the $20 cone <_<

i bought the bonez for my GTU. what a waste of $$$

the bonez is a K&N https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

I have an APC on my car, which replaced the HKS. It sounds like a downgrade, but it keeps my AFM clean and looks better.

Hilarious. I was looking at the APC and the Ractive one yesterday and was wondering if those were worth a damn.

Well, thanks for the input. I guess I'm gonna be part of the APC ricer.. oops... APC racing team.



I was checking out the K&N but it looks really small.. I dunno

i have hks intake...

So how do you like the Ractive, Vosko?



Compared to the Bonez(K&N)?

I don't remember where I read the review, but the Apex'i intake had the best performance and the cleanest filtration compared to a K&N, a Blitz, and some other brand. Rotormotorsports carries them for 145, not 200 like you say in your post.

custom intake ownz all https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png K&N was $50cnd (35usd?)

yeah, $20 ghetto ricer intake here, hey, it works just as well as the $200 one, so who cares?

Have any of you with the HKS had any problem with the foam breaking off or anything? I heard that is a problem with the HKS filters... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

yeah I made a similiar custom intake... Its prety awesome, got rid of a lot of my turbo lag

scott you have way too much free time but looks good!

nah just nights and weekends https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png didn't take too much time... car is driven everyday https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png did the rad / intake install in one day. (10 hours https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... )

from those pix i just realized how far back you set that rad. jeez! it should work really well https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

ya 4.5" or so at the top. bottom is the same. it's just tilted back.

you need a S5 TII TB USDM ? i have one sitting in my garage. make me an offer https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I pulled the K&N off my vert and put it on the AE, it might just be the crack, but the car felt faster after that. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Now I'm making a TID for it.
