I'm about to order an intake for my car, and I'm not sure which to go with.

I just put back my factory intake box and the butt dyno tells me its better than the K&N pod filter mounted on a 3" stainless pipe
no turbo spoolup noise, no intake roar though

I have a drop in filter and removed my resonator box
here is why, READ !! there was another article about it made by a US based magazine, but I can't find it. as long as the filter is not clogged with dirt, it'll yield the same power, be quieter and look cleaner. all stuff that I want in my bay.

For me it is simple... I had HKS intake on my previous car and EVERYONE who saw it just noticed "it is good for performance but bad for engine because filtration of HKS filters is poor". That is why I have decided on ST205 to use Apexi kit. So when someone ask me which one to choose: HKS or Apexi? I can say: I had both and now using Apexi. Guess why?

It's on order! Should be here at the end of March, along with the HKS Hi power silent cat-back. This will be great added to the Berk down pipe!

Thats right the reason why i went for the apexi is because i saw the article that reviews a bunch of intakes. The apexi came out on top for power and filtration. Its a plus that it is a pure japan product too. Filters I've tried: Apexi (Current) Weapon R Fujita Injen Generic Ebay -------------------- 94 Celica GT
