miko_supra Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I currently have a hks mushroom, just wondering if it is possible to simply swap the mushroom filter for an apexi one. Or do i need to buy the whole apexi kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 i'd say no, if it fits onto the hks elbow, its all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 you will need the pipe from apexi. The HKS metal pipe has clamp near the filter to hold it together and apexi have 4 screws and a gasket to hold the filter in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 So can anyone tell me where i can get my hands on the pipe? i know that mkiv store do the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I got the filter from MKiv store and I think you will be better off buying the kit. I am lucky to found a second hand pipe but the MKIV one is not apexi Power filter... I got it but found out it is the one with filter around the head but not in the middle with a hole......can't explain it... well, I think there is 2 type, the cheaper is the one with only filter around the outside and the expensive one have filter around and in the middle.. http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/apexi%5Fpower%5Fintake%5Ffilter/universal/ above is the one I wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattooman Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Why don't you go back to a stock air box it'll give you an extra 10-15BHP more than the HKS will. All the HKS will be doing is making a lot more noise (OK if you want more noise) and sucking in a whole lot of hot air from in the engine bay, where as with the stock box it has a channelled air duct that will allow colder air to get in there. The stock boxes are ok unless you are running over 550-600BHP anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 that's the thing, i prefer the noise, and im gnna have a cold air pipe running from the bumper when i get the apexi fitted. Is it really 10-15 more bhp? That bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really 10-15 more bhp? That bad? Yep it certainly is that much of a difference with a non stock induction kit and I too am working on an idea for a cold air pipe / intake....
