Bro Jus, if i have a choice between AF drop in, i will skip the K&N as their filters are actually of bad quality in appearances & filtrations. I`ve experienced that by glancing thru them under bribht light, & i could see tiny dots of light scattered around the surfaces due to poor cotton quality...imagine a tiny sand grit went thru it.... If only Apexi had the new filter for Jazz, i would got that instead of Mugen.
Here`s a link regards intakes: http://www.max-boost.co.uk/max-boost/intake/intake.htm
how much for the mugen air filter?
http://img245.echo.cx/img245/5954/mugenairfilter4hs.jpg
....S$155 in Sing dollars, ordered thru an auto shop dealer with Mugen products.
I am not arguing, but I am getting a bit sick of people making claims with no evidence to back it up...I am just making sure that people have true information and not basing their decisions merely on opinions, so they can make an informed decision.
Dyno results have confirmed my statements, and yes I would argue with Spoon and Mugen...they aren't interested in providing extreme modification as such. Spoon will base the majority of development on OEM parts (their bigger TB is simply a bored out OEM unit and have you compared the design of their manifold to the OEM? very similar). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise how restrictive the airbox on a Jazz is (not making any reference to the filter) - just go and have a look at the entire factory setup.
I should also note that my car, in an untuned state, is currently producing more power than the quoted figures of Spoon's car which has a free-flowing exhaust, headers and who knows what else....
My car is also a whole 1 second quicker over the quarter mile than a stock Jazz - and that's with a novice (me) driving!
All I am saying is that I have evidence of the gains the mods produce - everyone else is relying on pure speculation and opinion at this point as almost no one else either has mods done or has the inclination to take the car and put it on the dyno/take it to the track.
I have seen people do this and whilst it would be better than the factory setup, the actual design of the box is the problem. It's pretty easy to do and would be the way to go if you don't want to go to a podQuote:

This is going to be the single best option out there once it is complete, but it is a pod...

I have tried both setup, Apexi power intake kit vs Trust panel filter + CAI pipe, and here's my verdict:
Apexi intake kit:
- loud, very loud (partially because I'm using a carbon fibre bonnet)
- increased throttle response
- not much difference at low rpm
- significant gain at high rpm
Trust panel filter + CAI pipe:
- very quiet, similar to stock filter + resonator setup
- there maybe power gain but I don't feel much difference compared to stock filter (I have been swapping between stock and aftermarket filter to compare but honestly I can't really feel the difference)
- CAI pipe makes a bit of difference, especially in winter
Hey Jus,
Regards the HKS setup, it`s pretty neat i would say cos it has 45 degree elbow bends at both ends. It`s main advantages is that the airflow will be faster as air flows best on straight line, slows down fast also at right angle bends. What do u think of it?
What about the batteries, issit possible to get those dry type batt due to smaller in size( spoon actually does that in order to save weight ), therefore can relocate the batt foward with custom bracket to hold it? Then we can plug the pod straight/in line with the TB with the pod attached with some pipings and located at the batt compartment. I know it may sounds crazy, maybe i`m missing something here. Thanks!
hm......
sound like mugen and spoon have to close down their business if that things happen.
lol
also what about a ARC or mugen intake compare to Apexi one?
