Anyone got an Apexi / HKS panel filter in their 3.0??

Now I know a bunch of you have bought the HKS panel from PhatGT, so was hoping to et some feedback. Looks like it could be a good, cheap 1st mod but wanted to know whether people thought it was worthwhile as it doesn't matter how cheap a mod is if there's no improvement...

Any noticable difference?
Induction noise?
Which is better - HKS or Apexi (assuming someone has tried both)

Cheers!

Yes got a HKS 10 months ago.
Marginable noticable difference (Placebo effect?).
Sounds a little different.
Good easy 1st mod, along with the Prova air guide.

You probably won't notice any difference whatsoever in terms of performance. It's too marginal. As alcapone26 said, there is a bit more induction noise (slight). HKS and Apexi pretty much same same. However in the overall grand scheme of things, it will chip in better than stock if you're doing other mods like the dump pipe, exhaust, top mount, etc.
