Why K&N filter why.........:( i prefer apexi...
Also, i saw some magazine advertisment said, some brand called "SS Induction Big Mouth (http://www.ssinductions.com.au/about.htm)" they claim they have better airflow than K&N and BMC....at that point, i am hardly able to convinced though....
And you prefer A'pexi why exactly?
Are you after Jap brand names or dyno-proven performance gains? Oh you can't even see the filter once it is installed so no one will ever know what you have anyway. Bottom line is, the K&N works. To use an A'pexi filter will probably add atleast another $60-$80 to the price of the kit.....
K&N is not in my top list of filters also not due to performancegains issue but it`s dust filtration capabilities compared to the Apexi paper based filter, & my bottom line is you get a dirty engine very quickly, & that also means an unhealty engine, providing oil changed at intervals shortened by few thousands in KM.Quote:

Maybe should have options of filters for this genius induction kit so that customers will have various choices of filters for their needs.
BTW, how come still no product pictures yet, then how to buy??? :rolleyes:
i would like to see the performance diff b/t K&N and Apexi on the same air intake though...heh.....even just minor, personally think its interesting to find out.
plus, really no why, just not really a fan of K&N~
Jap product is not just all about "brand name"~i think they are better in some aspects. Not all people are stupid just buying the brand. Well, of course, value wise, K&N might be really the one to pick. but i think Apexi is relatively cheap compare to rest of good Jap filter. (Don't even talk think brand like ARC~:P)
i agree with GD1 Jazz, since it's not a manufacturing product (i meant, not like Blitz or Apexi kit), it might make it more possible and add value to customers to have various choices.
i am not bitching this CAI here, in fact i really like it a lot, but just have some suggestions~:)
We chose the K&N air filter because it is the best air filter for this application.
In case you were not aware, a K&N air filter offers the following:
Further, the filtration provided by a K&N air filter is nothing short of excellent.
- Washable and Reusable
- Will NOT Void Vehicle Warranty
- Lasts up to 80,000km before cleaning is required depending on driving conditions
- 10 Year / Million Mile Limited Warranty
- High Air Flow with Excellent Filtration.
- SAE J726 pass
K&N air filters are tested to deliver 97~98% efficiency - SAE J726
This is a testing procedure developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers identified as the SAE J726 procedure.
This test demonstrates the ability of an air filter to protect your engine.
In this test, the air filter is subjected to particles ranging in size from less than 5.5 microns to 176 microns.
Studies have shown most engine wear is caused by particles 10 to 20 microns in size.
K&N air filters, like most quality disposable air filters, provide excellent filtration of these particles.
The result of the above test procedure is a specific air filtration efficiency number.
This efficiency number represents the percentage of test dust retained by the filter and thereby kept out of an engine.
K&N air filters achieve maximum airflow while achieving an overall filtration efficiency of 97~ 98%.
Regarding the Jazz CAI
We have developed an intake system that is tested & proven to work.
Further it is priced fairly too.
An alternative to the K&N air filter selected will not be offered or discussed.
If you think filter comparison testing etc would be interesting...
You're welcome to purchase an intake and go for your life.
Or if you or your mate, think you know better...
By all means, develop your own CAI.
thats a fair post... these guys know what their talking about, trust em.
so is it that the kit includes everything u need for the CAI mode?? so nothing else needed??
and can i just get Toda to install the parts for me if i want one?? and how much would it be in total??
So much speculation.Quote:

k&N will be good enough for street use
all pods work the same
That is correct. All parts required are included except for tools.Quote:

Fitting time should take the average punter no more than 2 hours.*
* I have not yet officially released this product as, currently we have only have only produced a text draft of the fitting instructions.
I still need to produce step by step photos to be included in these fitting instructions.
The intent is to produce fitting instructions that are very clear and easy to follow for home handymen & mechanics alike.
Price of Jazz CAI kit is $375.
(TNT road express freight is additional <$25 within Aust)
Fitting price estimate - $120
(Of course this depends on the hourly rate charged at your local workshop)
Limited offer:
We will waive the installation fee until we have enough photographs to produce our fitting instructions. This offer will only be open to 1, possibly 2 cars.
Once we have produced our instructions, the product will be available outside the Sydney area.
I appologise for any inconvenience this delay causes.
nice work age, now send me my bearings :)
