I would go with the FIPK, cause thats what I have and im partial. Im not sure which one flows best, I would be willing to bet that they all are very close and you wouldnt be able to notice a difference between them. I prefer the K&N cause it never goes bad, just clean and re-oil it and you can use it forever.

actually some of your data is skewed. Infact the K&N filter was one of the lower scored filtering and air restriction filters out of the major companies.

Apexi rated the best airflow with the most amount of particle filtering. Just to let you know your nto supposed to OIL your filter, whenever you oil it that oil gets sucked onto the afm's components creating a layer that will in the end damage your afm.

Apexi's may be a bit expensive but they offer the best flow, and the best particle filtering without the use of oil. Just rinse them out with a light soap water solution and let it full dry before re installing.

K&Ns you are suppose to oil.. to help with the filtering.. can be sucked into the afm and kill it, but usually if it does you used too much oil..

apexi is the way to go...... doesn't need oil, its a dry filter, flows good, filters good...

I'm another Apex-I fan. They are supposed to be one of the best in filtering out dirt according to some past tests.

get the apexi from suprasport. 15 hp increase(advertised), no oil, best filtering. plus you get to hear the turbo a lil better if you listen hard enough.:evil2:

i have one and it rocks!!!!well worth the money!!!!!!

a k-n is just gonna destroy your afm. $400 is not cheap for a new afm.

just my .02 take it how it is.
