Default FS: A'pexi filter with custom adapter

There was a comparison done on air filters a while back and this filter came out on top...above K&N, Blitz, etc. That's why I decided on getting this air filter for my car, but Apexi doesn't make an application for the SC300, so I had to get a custom adapter made by a friend who works at a very reputable shop. This filter alone is $89. The custom adapter fabrication would cost a lot extra, depending on where you go. If I remember correctly, it took about 3 hours to make!

Here is more info on the filter:

Here are links with info on the comparison.

I would like $80 + shipping for the filter with the adapter. This filter is a dry filter, so you never need to oil it or clean it. I decided on selling it because I need some extra money for Christmas. email me at mr_h_liang@hotmail.com if interested

it should fit the sc400 if the bolt pattern and spacing is the same on the maf. the filter is still on my car, so i don't know the weight of it to calculate shipping costs just yet. i would think maybe about $15? but i'm not sure.

the sound of the car isn't changed too significantly. it sounds like a vacuum in under my hood at idle and when i stomp on it, it roars a little, but not REALLY loud. i've never dynoed my car, so i don't know about hp gains. and i would think a heat shield would help if you can get your hands on one or if you want to make your own.
