Question Apexi Air Filter

There has been many discussions on K&N and Hurricane air filters. Has anyone tried the Apexi replacement air filter? There are many good reviews for this air filter, including achieving the highest bhp output, excellent filtration, lifetime use and zero maintenance (such as oiling) needed.

Car Filter Review

Anyone can advise where can we buy this air filter and the estimated cost?

Re: Apexi Air Filter

I think the problem is the lack of application for the BMW range, esp 320i. Apexi and K&N almost equal IMHO.

Re: Apexi Air Filter

According to the report, it classified Apexi as "dry, mesh type filter" whereas K&N as "wet, mesh type filter", so there's a slight difference. My guess is that Apexi may fit the gap between K&N and Hurricane, which is maintenance free.

Re: Apexi Air Filter

Hurricane is a "dry, metallic mesh type filter". Not sure what Apexi air filter is made of but physically looks like the material used in K&N.
