apexi super intake

[brokemp3]

i was washing the engine bay today and i noticed that i somehow put a whole in my air filter,( must have happened durring the accident) anyway i went to a local shop and they had this air filter from japan that had been sitting there for over a year.the guy at the shop said they had no way to attach the filter to the intake tube because they were missing the brackets. i offered him 40 bucks for it since he siad retail was around 100. he kept saying that there was no way to get the brackets. so i brought it home. i was looking at the papers it came with even though it was all in japanese. i figured out that the guys at the shop must be morons the intake was designed to bolt to an intake plate that is attached to the intake tube instead of using clamps. so i took my old air filter apart used the gasket that the new filter came with for a template and bolted it to the new intake. i used hi temp gasket sealent and then clamed it onto the intake tube. the thing is ******* loud and its sounds sweet. sounds like a turbine when i give it some gas. i took it back to the shop to show them what i did and the guy got mad. the filter is called a apexi super intake.
so far no problems no leaks or anything and it looks cool. when i get it back from the body shop next week i will take some pics

this is the same intake

This intake has dual stainless steel funnels to direct intake air smoothly into the throttle body. The air filter is made of an unrestricted race quality element and has one funnel at the top of the filter and one funnel at the base. Apex engineers noticed in tests that when the vehicle sucked in air from the side, an area of wind turbulence occurs in the middle of the filter. To cure this problem, a funnel at the top of the filter was added to channel the air down to the base of the filter. A separate funnel at the base of the filter ensured the smooth transition of air form the atmosphere into the intake pipe. Both funnels are constructed of a high quality polished SUS 304 stainless steel and the craftsmanship only found in Apex products.
