Which filter is better
Lads,
Which filter is better?
Pipercross foam type or the Apexi ?
I have both and prefer the Apexi but is size restricting on a 270 bhp Bugeye? I has the Apexi on my Blobeye and never had an issue with it and it's also a much nicer installation.
Thanks

What he is saying is below a certain power level approx 400
The standard set up works best with a panel filter ( pointless mod although you may get a little more induction noise ... However you have un balanced 1 side of the triangle so j wouldn't be surprised if your AFR' wasn't all over the Lake District .

Been using K&N oiled filters for years as well, currently have a K&N cone filter on the car running 400bhp and never had a problem.
Never had a MAF fail but if you over oil them when you clean the filter then it could cause problems.
At the op power I would not bother with anything other than standard.
I have a heat shield on mine and kept the original air scoop, from experience it causes no problems, once the car is moving the temperature difference between ambient air and intake air is only 1 degree.
Get up to 70mph and there is no difference.

Note they only tested one performance filter, and never said what it was.
At the end out the day its a mind field, i've spent ages looking into this, you can get a panel filter that has amazing flow but its filtration is rubbish, which is the whole idea of a panel filter, you want to remove all the rubbish in the air thats going into your engine with a good flow.
And to fine out the filter thats the best at this is not easy. Thats why i stick to Subaru products.
Pro R or STI or at a push K&N otherwise stick to standard OEM filter
