Product Description
The Power Intake is the premier air filter designed to create pure horsepower.
The intake funnels used in racing machines take advantage of a characteristic where air travels along the side of the side of surfaces. However, the center portion of the funnel is virtually unused. It is this concept that gave birth to 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 incorporates 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 with past model, 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, are a thing of the past. The Power Intake is basically maintenance free. Filter replacement, when necessary, can be done at a very low cost.
CONCEPT:
Air filter with minimal air-flow restriction
CHARACTERISTICS:
Dual funnel filter system minimizes intake turbulence

About the Manufacturer
Founded in Japan in 1992, A'PEXi has grown from just a small tuning parts manufacturer to a multi-industry international powerhouse. 2011 marks the 14th year for APEXi USA and the 20th year for the APEXi Group of Companies. Growth has come from hard work, research, and the highest commitment to customer service and feedback. An international network of tuning shops and consumers provides a steady flow of incoming information that continuously fuels the engineers at APEXi.Championship wins and racing feedback can be seen reflected throughout the product lineup. Localization of products has also been a top priority so that we can better serve the needs of our customers. It is with this steady flow of commitment and goals that APEXi has been able to mature so quickly. APEXi has now applied the extensive knowledge it has gained from automotive motorsports and used it to expand into new and technologically advanced business ventures. In response to increasing emissions and environmental issues, APEXi has embraced the technological fight to create clean burning technologies for everyday automotive use.
