Default what induction kit to buy

hi i have a 95 sti classic.

i want to put on a induction kit. wondering what one to buy and what sucsess you guys have had from them. i know HKS and Apexi. i had a Apexi on my skyline before and loved it not sure if the make one for the scooby of my year.

apart from that any one used the hks. as the normaly hks use foam does this tend to let more air in ? can this mess the Afm up ?

apart from that what has been the best filter used. i currently have k&n pannel filer used. i do have an exhause system fitted with decat and a few other tweeks and stuff

any sujestions will be appricated

thanks

A good panel filter, unless you have your induction kit fitted into the wing as otherwise its just sucking in hot air = no power gain/power loss.

No, they are cosmetic, they do sweet fa lol
A good panel filter is better at this level of tune, its only when you hit bigger numbers that people go for induction kits, and even then they have to be fitted into the wing, which in itself brings other problems (cleaning, maf recalibration etc).
