Apexi Air Filter
Hi Guys,
I bought Apexi Air Filter and while installing it, the air filter box is not closing completely from the bottom, Can anyone advise if he faced the same problem and what is the solution? My installation was the Apexi white print toward the bumper side! |

It fits fine but you really have to be nice to it or it will pinch it and creat a leak. Take your time by taking the inlet tube out and adjust carefully. It should not be hard to close when it's in right.

My perrin was tight as well, echoing other here, but removing the box makes it a lot easier. It's a quick task.
