APEXBUILT Titanium Intake Kit

I tried searching and couldn't come up with anything, who has these and how do you like them? Any pictures, not interested in the front mount kit, just the kit that mounts in the engine bay. Thanks

I had the aluminum version and had to cut 1/4" off the larger pipe where it fit the turbo I also had to flip the strut brace and put in washers to lift the front brace to clear the piping. It just stood too tall off the turbo and interfered with the brace as it crossed in front of the engine. It wasn't an install issue, as the pipe touched the turbo inlet and just didn't have any room to get lower as it crossed in front. It didn't fit without some creative modification, so I ended it taking a loss and selling it cheap to a friend that was aware of the issue. I'm not sure if they fixed the problem since then as it was purchased at the beginning of the year.

I was seriously considering this option, however I emailed them multiple times asking if their kit fits with the CS brace and they never responded. I figured they didn't want my business and found the RK titanium version which is substantially cheaper. They responded right away and ill be going that route.

I have bought a few items from them, service is top notch...I will give them a look.


:EDIT
They only have front mount systems...I'm looking for one in the engine bay.

You got any pics of it installed?

How was the installation, any issues?

Do titanium intakes have a different sound typically than the carbon fiber ones? I like the way the Dinan intake looks in the engine bay, but the sound is going to be much more important to me
