Apexi Power Intake 3.5 inch (85mm) Universal Filter & Flange 500-A029

The Apexi Power Intake Filter & Flange kit, this kit is one of the most advanced intake filters money can buy. In comparison to every other intake filter on the market this filter provides the most power and the highest filtration quality of any high performance filter on the market. This filter features a large 3.5inch 85mm inlet allows it to be mated to any of the latest aftermarket intakes for most k-series applications. Standard intake filters used in racing take advantage of a characteristic where air travels along the side of the side of surfaces. However, the center portion of the filter is virtually unused. This is why Apexi came up with the Dual Funnel design. A primary funnel on the top portion of the air cleaner was inserted to channel the air flow directly into the lower funnels at the base of the cleaner. This design was a huge success on the former Super Intake model. The Power Intake took this design and improved the flow characteristics. New funnel design, element material and air flow channeling characteristics make the Power Intake one of the most efficient air cleaners on the market today. By constructing the upper and lower funnel from a highly durable injected resin, engineers were able to construct the ideal shaped funnel previously not possible with the stainless steel material. Funnel shapes focused on increasing air speed without changing the flow direction of the intake air. The result is a high speed and smooth flow of air into the intake. The lower funnel has been engineered at a 14 degree curve for maximum efficiency. Also, the lower funnel position has been made even closer to the base of the cleaner to reduce drag and eliminate any dead spots within the cleaner. The Power Intake system uses a newly developed material (layer filter of dry density fibers) which improves the element density. This allows maximum protection from foreign materials entering the engine. Compared against apexis previous model which was also a top performing filter, the Power Intake has also succeeded in decreasing its ventilation resistance by about 10% (pressure loss) for maximum performance and protection. The Power Intake is dry-type filter and is trouble free. Some of the problems associated with wet type cleaners, such as oil sticking to the air flow meter (maf), are a thing of the past. The Power Intake is basically maintenance free. Filter replacement, is available at affordable prices. Overview: - #1 Intake Filter in the world - 3.5 inch inlet or 85mm - Dry Filter - Highest filtration quality of any performance filter Part #: 500-A029
