I guessing the intake will contact with the mount when fitted therefore the mount need to be replace ! It is just a shame I don't have any tool to mod it to fit. . . . .

You saw what online? I don't see anything or am I looking over it? (Is my sentence proper English, or am I mixing Dutch --> Dunglish?)

nice find for both. There is no comparison though! Get the apexi. I have loved its performance. It is the only filter that gives me more midrange power! It filters superbly and it doesn't require washing. Just throwing air.

I had been thinking about the difference between original performance filters and Chinese one's.
Personally i have some kind of a Simota type filter with plastic heatshield.
I just don't know what is the difference between them and how the hell are they better when looking almost exactly the same.
Would i gain any benefit from changing the china one with some famous label for hundreds of lizards?

I think that the quality brands filters offers better filtration than low quality chinese or taiwanese filters.
Also quality brands have more filter-induction kits that offer real power gain!

I will check if the induction pipes are dirty and respond to you. i have several thousands of km on that filter without cleaning it, and if the pipe is clean inside then I'll have the answer:) ..I have the suspicion that the difference may not be so big.

When I used to have simota filter the intake pipe was dirty (there was dust and microparticles).
If someday I put aftermarket filter it will be only from quality brand.

When I had the simota intake the tube was super clean. It was so strange and I had for several years. However I used to clean the filter very often. It was quite restrictive though. My apexi filter is more open but filters worse judging from the intake tube! Could you believe it? In a test the apexi filter gets the 1st place in filtration and performance. The worst was an hks i think
