Apexi intake filter size

Anonymous · July 8, 2003, 13:17

Does anyone know which size the Apexi filter element is (as supplied in the kit with the piping, etc)? I need to replace my dirty filter, and have several sizes to choose from.

Possible options are;

160-85mm
160-75mm
160-65mm
140-75mm

I'm guessing that those are length and diameter, but not sure.

I thought it was a lifetime filter?

I dont know if this is any use but i have some K&N filter cleaner that you can have if you want? (assuming your filter is washable)

not sure to be honest Phil, bit Paul at PPE is selling them for $79 if that helps.

It breathes dirty air, so it'll get dirty s:wink: :wink: s:wink: And a dirty filter will clog.

You can probably clean it (which you can't do with a non-"lifetime" filter), but I figure if I have two, then I can be running on one, and trying to work out how to clean the other, swapping them back and forth every so often.

Y5000 (~$51) at TakaKaira. I just need to know which size; I guess I'd better take mine off and get the ruler out, and hope one of those sizes correlates s:)

Phil, did you suss out the size in the end?
A friend needs a filter for his Scooby and my Apexi will need replacing eventually, so it makes sense to do one order with Taka Kaira to save on shipping.

Unfortunately not; mph kindly measured his, but the dimensions bear no obvious relation to the available options (above). I'll try and find out from PPE, since Takakaira aren't responding s:(

Just shower it s:)

s:) Take the filter off and shower water inwards from the opening...so that it goes through the filter in opposite direction than airflow when it's on car. And just shower it as long as the water coming through it isn't perfectly clear.

IMHO you don't really need those cleaning thingies, as they are mostly meant for getting rid of the oil you have to spray on most filters...
