Really strange, not long ago there was a massive thread with people praising the filter

I imagine its probably one of the better ones of the aftermarket world, but you'd not catch me praising anything other than a paper filter but then who wants a boring paper filter when you can spunk a load of cash on some wikkid one and say its the bestest (bit like folks and remaps, and suspension and blah blah blah)

Its famously a good cone filter. Beats the pants off pipercross and k&n rubbish. Ive owned all three of those btw.

[Ormes]

Indeed, its even worse, cotton gauze.

Thought it was a dry foam filter?

[Bumblebee]

It's a dry mesh type filter http://www.mikekempe...lantra/filters/

The reason MMG use Apexi is the fact that its a dry type filter, so it will not kill the MAF sensor. K&N & Pipercross everything else is oil impregnated which kills the MAF.

Apexi filters have the best filtration over any non oil impregnated filter (From the research I have done, as long as you get a genuine one)

The air box is a huge restriction, so get rid of it, simples.

Apexi filter is just one tiny part of a full MMG intake kit, need the whole kit to see the best gains. I was supposed to post up pics of a whole MMG intake kit, but alas I never got round to it and MMG did not have time with moving location of the work shop.....

Yeh You can do the test your self with a hoover. Genuine Apexi do filter very well!

You can get a lot of different size apexi filters tho, bigger the better for me

Yes the Maf is ofcourse the most important part of the engine........ Ffs.

[siztenboots]

never had a MAF fail , a bit of brake cleaner seems to do the trick.

[Asheey]

Ive been using one for 6 month's no probs to report as yet.

The Apexi has great filtration, whats the issue? You can fit a different type, but they kill the mafs, or you can leave the airbox as a big restriction..... Seems pretty clear to me......

Point 100% missed, never mind... That will teach me to view the post as opposed to leave it ignored

[astravxr]

So how has others set theirs up? I just used the origional pipe and put the filter on the end. Its away from the ear, should it be extending it to be closer?
