Get a MAF adapter and use that shit man! Either that or, make a CAI for a freinds honda and charge him for it Or give it to me ! I've been wanting to put an open air element on my moms maxima...

Yeah while it's true that not all filters are created equal, it's not like it's the sponge type that HKS uses which filters nothing, or the metal mesh that Blitz uses. People still use the HKS filters even though they filter like shit and I haven't hear anything about motor damage from people using them. My guess is that for APC to make it that cheap, they gotta buy that filter element from somewhere that makes them in large quantities, aka supplier for other companies too. Honestly, I don't see how using a no-name filter can be all that bad.

Hmmm, good point. This is what I found when searched freshalloy, "Any conical filter will do, as long as it's a real pleated cotton filter. I think APC filters are pleated paper." If I'm not gonna use it, I'll just burn it to see how fast it burns, never seen an intake on fire before hahah
