I have a K&N cone filter, others tend to like the dry elements (HKS) since you have to clean the K&N and re-oil it. Some have done dyno tests and feel that any of the reusable filters are less effective after their 2nd or 3rd cleaning and would rather just buy a new filter once a year or every other year. So you may want to take that cost into consideration.

I went ahead and got the Apexi intake but i ended up spending $215 after shipping on it.. Is there a cheaper site?? because Im looking into getting a turboback exhaust system and I would prefer a dual exhaust.. Any suggestions?

I have a Greddy PE dual, but there are a couple of others out there now that are good fits and make good power. I'll do some digging and find out the websites for you. you can also check the links sections on the main website

Oh man, didn't even see the date. Need to bring more traffic to this forum if I'm accidentally bumping into threads that old. I'll start telling my Southeast customers about FLMR2. Hopefully that helps.

When did you start making that Tash? I noticed it the other day browsing around your site but since you are not a vendor on the "oc" any longer I was not aware that you made it. Looks awsome by the way, after I buy my TD05- 16g kit off another board member, your intake will be my next purchase. Out of curiousity though, I assume that there is a reduceing silicone coupler on the turbo side?
FINALLY BOOSTING... and loving it.

I have always made them as one-off's for customers. But recently put them on the website as a standard item that I stock on a regular basis. The coupler that goes to the turbo I can do in a regular 3" for turbos with 3" inlets, and also as 2.75" or even smaller for turbos with smaller inlets. The ct20b & ct26 have 2.75" intakes. On the website there's an option on the intake's page that you can select the inlet size of your turbo so that we get the correct coupler/reducer to you for your turbo.
