redline Rooster Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Hi, I'm thinking of ordering an APEXi induction kit for my Sup, seeing as I can get quite a bit off the normal price! I was just wondering if anyone else had fitted one of these kits to thier car, and what they thought!?!?!? I had an APEXi kit installed on my last car and was quite impressed by "freeness" of the engine when revving. That car how ever was not turbo'd! anyway, i'm gonna wait for Mr. Postman!

as5606 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Just installed a Apexi Powerflow on mine and it sounds a lot better (bit like a quite dump valve and woosh on turbo spin) but haven't really noticed an improvement on power. It is best to have this on in combination with Exhaust and boost upgrade as its importance increases I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 You're more likely to be losing power unless you supply it with some air.......... the stock setup is considered superior to any aftermarket filter that is mounted in the stock position but they do sound nice:sly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Justin F, I remember you saying that you had relocated your cone filter into the wing where the SMIC fitted, do you have any photos you could post? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
