Wiredchaos Neutral Newbie May 30, 2004 Share May 30, 2004 Quote Well, let's see. It makes it a magnet for white ants with its noise It's suppose to be a shorter path to obtaining air into the engine. It's suppose to be a Super Flow HKS air intake system. The overall response feels good. Flooring the accelerator is not what brings about the power in my car now, but rather some decent throttle control instead. The sound is wonderful Any idea how does it compare to that of the APEX'i Power Intake in the costs and performance ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kianbeng Clutched May 31, 2004 Share May 31, 2004 Use what solution to wash the engine? Some mechanics suggest using petrol to clean the engine.....and....I thought it won't be too good for the rubbers (engine mount, belts,...) If we go to the petrol kiosks, they will be using high pressure water guns to clean the engine issit? If high pressure water gun doesn't harm anything.....then.....hmm....maybe can DIY myself. Heehee.... sekali, after wash, the engine cannot start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard that the Apexi one is much bigger and causes the engine check light to come on easily. And I think the Apexi one is around $400. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
