Interesting article for all the newcomers to the forum.. and some of us old ones too.

http://www.gtrowner.com/induction.html

Read closely the conclusion... It's truly a toss up in horse power gains and looks. Now filtration is another subject.

Talking Well both!!!

There is so much info out there: good and bad for our cars... I think we need to be informed about as many details as we can possibly get on a product(s) performance against its competition!

It is good stimulation of the mind to engage in diverse topics of interests.

However, it is s very good article on one of our major topics here at Club Lexus... Don't you agree? Did you get your PM?

Yeah, the APEX-i is $88 bucks for a stinkin cone filter with no adaptor.

I'm hoping a distributer will offer it at a lower price. Keep an eye out for it.
