i think the hks look so much cooler, performance wise i couldnt tell you the differences between them but if its for a daily i doubt the performance diference would even bother you
when you have to change the apexis after time do you have to buy a whole new filter?? thats one thing good about the hks ones too, ive seen the replacement foam filters for as litttle as 14euro and you can get them in different colours if you get bored!
Yes think you have to change the whole filter with apexi but would last some time its a good quality filter yes can change the foam/element on the hks ones which is good
Apexi has the better filtration than HKs..and HKs is not for a washeable foam...when it is dirty you have to buy a foam replacement..for drag/track go to HKs but for daily driving ,Apexi is the way to go
id go for the apexi one , i think they look better than the hks one. i had the hks one in few of my cars , it is fairly cool too but heard its not a great
Trust/HKS with the same foam gives the best results,but these filters are not good in the equation of filtration.They eat more dust ,than the others..It is like driving with a metal grille on the turbo
i had the exact same decision to make, i chose the apexi filter in the end cus i found out over time the HKS foam filter deteriorates and falls appart and gets sucked into the turbo, this put me off personally so i bought the apexi one,
