It's made from the same cotton gaze material. Give it a shot.

I purchased a Hepa filter from ebay for my Vacuum cleaner. It's has half the price for the pair and does the job.

Sometimes you're just paying for the brand and marketing. Like the people who are still using Mobil One synthetic, and it has be proven time and time again that Castro Syntec showed less wear in the oil analysis results.

Heck, even some of the dino oil did better.

 

i dig the apexi one but the cleaning method is kinda iffy to me lol. i wonder why aem never made a panel filter for our cars

 

I love this combination of words.

But +1 to APEXi!

 

This people are paying 10K for a car that we paid $40k for, when new. You go figure they're gonna give a d@mn about maintaining and modding it right.
We're rolling with Civic pimps. So sad.

 

You have any proof that cheaper air filters are bad for our g35's?

 

Insinuating that all air filters are created equal is like saying all tires are created equal: Wuling tires from China and Bridgestone tires from Japan are made of the same kind of material, yes; but the quality of the material, engineering and design is at two wholly different levels, resulting in a different level of performance and even quality and/or safety.

 

Have even a vague reason why this filter should filter as well as a K&N or other somewhat reputable filter? Go ahead and buy it and risk it letting **** into your engine and causing problems down the road. Then come back and bitch about how nissan engines are crap blah blah blah.

 

I got a nismo filter in my air intake, it works fine, next one will be K&N.

And damn, if a 45 dollar filter is so expansive, go buy a ****ing honda.

Next time remember, just cause your car needs to use 91 oct. fuel, make sure to cheap out and put 87(I mean you won't hear engine knock, so its gotta be safe huh)

 

ahh sorry sorry, i just bought a lot of stuff for my car so i was just asking. i went with the K&N filter after the third post on this thread anyway.

and i use 93 octance btw (we dont have 91 in my area)


thanks for the helpful input... no thanks to the people flaming

 

Wow really, this is what the site has come down to? You are willing to risk the one single thing that prevents foreign material from entering your engine to save 10 dollars on ebay.

Today is a sad sad day.

 

Lol at you people getting all nuts. I don't plan on buying a cheap filter, ever. I just asked a simple question and everyone's panties got in a bunch real quick. I'm guessing no one has any proof though.

 

I've been using K&N filters on my bikes and cars since the early 80's and never had a problem. Dropped a K&N filter in my daughter's G the day after we brought it home.

 

I think k&n and oiled filters in general are overrated. They were great in the years past, but other companies have caught up with them and most have passed them now. The oil gets on the maf, tb and other stuff, not worth it to me.

 

What happened to all the haters? Lol no proof? Well, see ya next time!

 

There isn't proof with the original filter because it is a POS and hasn't undergone any type of testing to prove its ability to prevent any type of particles passing into your engine. You are an idiot if you don't understand how that makes it a piece of crap.
