Apexi Power Intake..

bb1boy · Post by **bb1boy** » Fri May 30, 2014 12:23 pm

I have one of these on my car at the mo which is soon to be replaced with a Type-S intake..

My question is, does anyone know what this bit of Apexi pipe might be worth? The filter I have is old and dirty so I don't expect anyone would want that..

Well H22powaaa is selling a Feels pipe which is very similar to this and was asking £75 with no interest. He had supposedly contemplated asking for £50 initially, but I still imagined he'd struggled to get that as at the end of the day it is only a bent pipe

... No matter how far overpriced the original induction kit was

It'd be a different matter if it replaced the whole arm, but neither do, so I imagine both would only manage about £20 tops without a filter.

I gave my old one away to @merlin with filter, he converted it into a long ram to use in his track beast

Yeah Newkid gave me his old Super Intake, rather than the Power Intake. The difference being is that the Power Intake has some sort of vortex system built into the cone.

We have one of these on Lisa's car. It's a good bit of kit

You can still buy them new (look on A'Pexi's website)

The filter is a dry filter that can be cleaned (but obviously that is effort lol) or buy a new one to replace it (£45 I think we got one for).

If it's going for £20, I'd take it off your hands to put on the white BB4 in place of the crap that's on it atm. I have a K&N one I got from preludemanh22 I was going to use, would be interesting to compare them back-back, MCM stylee

Why are there 7 holes but only 5 bolts?

I think @indigolemon had a link for the filters for about £19.. although I think we decided they were fakes

I was originally guessing around the £30 mark so I guess I'm not that far off.. but £75 for the Feels one?! Damn! That seems like A LOT, is it that much better/rarer than mine?

I'm going to install the Type-S intake first to make sure it fits/works ok..

8 holes, 4 on pipe, 2 on each bracket, 4 bolts for the pipe, u only use 1 bracket, one end attaches the the pipe ruling out one of the holes and the other end bolts to chassis meaning all 5 bolts used and no holes left

To keep keen eyed folk like you on their toes..

Although newkids answer is probably more pertinent.

@Pushki has the type-s intake in his bb4 so he be best asking on fitment, most will agree its the best intake around unless your running crazy bhp
