Fake or Genuine?

[SuperJDM.]

Hey guys would any one happen to know if this is a Fake Apexi Power Intake or is it a Genuine one? Also if it was real would it fit onto a EM1

Cheers.

You can probs check the Apexi website and they will have a list of distributors. Also his feedback is pretty high so maybe thats a good sign? I was having the same problems with a set of coilovers, except I couldn't find them on the list of distributors.

to be honest, why spend heaps on a air filter, when a cheap simple 3A racing is just as good, if not better than those ones.... proven to work, look it up..

But with regards to that, itd most likely be real thing, given that no one makes replica apexi pod filters, an given the price of it... fitment, u need the adapter plate for the ek9/ek4 to fit it on, as they have like 8 bolt pattern on the filter itself... an from there where evers good, rubber or metal intake pipe

CK don't buy it. Wouldn't trust it.

Safer to get it off a trader here.

well there we go lol... than yea, either get it from a reputable seller on ebay, with good feed back or buy it from nengun, jdm yard or so, atleast a trader here in aust, that way u can be sure it always be the real deal

Get the 3A racing from JDMYard, cheaper than any places ive investigated so far lol. rumor is that its one of the best pods out there,

or try a Fujita Pod - the same if not better than the apexi model - and no1 makes replicas lol

it is, an has been proven before, in one of the autosalon issue, they pitted 3A racing against all the big brands, an it came out on top... worse ones was the HKS mushrooms, had very little filtration, an im not surprised, cant believe ppl pay over 300 for mushroom filter that doesn't even do its job lol

The Fujita intake wasn't part of the intake comparison and I believe the Fujita ones are one of the best performing.

People from honda-tech swear by the velocity stack plus filter which is what I've bought and gonna try out...

you guys are right about the 3A racing one,
