how much the apexi cost?

 

The universal filter (just the filter element) runs about $90. Don't know if you could just use any old elbow pipe, but I doubt it.

If you want a short ram air intake by Apex-i themselves, I think it runs about $150. Might want to check groupbuycenter or our sponsors for some prices.

 

90 is quite a lot. i guess there is nuthing cheaper than 40 and is comparable to K&N. i am holding back on these cuz their mileage increase theories seem to apply only to few. its could be all psychological cuz they spent so much money and ...

 

Honestly, if I was like "yo...my car is lightning fast now that I put my K&N in", it would be psychological. I did not feel any increase in power by adding it. However, I did see a legitimate increase in my gas mileage. I keep careful track of this, and the tank after I put it in, my mileage increased 3-4 mpg and it has consistantly stayed that high. I have the records to prove it, so I don't think its psychological. Oh, and before someone says "well, your old filter was probably dirty, so you were just getting back what you lost from a dirty filter", my car had the original air filter in it from the factory, and when I changed it, the car had 10k on it...far less than the suggested mileage for changing your air filter. When I took the stock one out, it was relatively clean and new.

There has to be something to K&Ns. No matter what type of car you are talking about....Civics, Vettes, Probes (I used to own one), Mustangs, truck guys, etc. , they all swear by K&N. I can't think of another product that is so openly accepted and sworn by by all forms of car enthusiast. Come to think of it, I know motorcycle people swear by them to. With this being the case, I really doubt they are all hype. There has to be something to them for them to be so used and accepted.

 

anyone know if a K&N drop in filter from a 00 Si will fit in a 92-95 civic's air box?

 

Entirely possible. If you can't figure out why the CEL is on, pop off your passenger side kick panel, locate the service port on the ECU (usually a light green rubber housing over it), jumper it with a paper clip, and follow the instructions for reading the code out of your Haynes manual. Try changing the filter first though. If it needs done, do it!

if you think k&n's are expensive dont even ask h:

but since u did ur lookin at 70ish for just the filter

 

Be careful with the Apexi fellas... I have one.

They sell that filter for $70. It's JUST THE FILTER! You have to pay another $70 for the universal adapter h:

I made mine out of a simple Home Depot toilet bowl flange. :chuckles:

Sorry for the large image:

 

Are you glad you paid the extra money for it?

 

it's a nice filter. I'm happy with it.
