Few years back, APEXI Power Intake was a very common filter, and shops like N1 all had original ones for sale...fast forward to today, I scoured the entire Sunway and nobody has stock of it, and the ones who had, were selling fakes only.

Sigh, pretty sad. I'm willing to pay the RM2xx price for the original, but now, got money also can't find.

Anybody know where to find one? Specifically the 500-A024 size, smaller one.

Case of too many knockoffs kills the original one.
But what happens to your previous one? I thought such filter is like lifetime use, just need to clean them up, no?

Poor installation, constant friction. Habis.

That one claims to be 100% original and the shop is in Sunway. No harm to check it out if really keen. Ixeo has the original anyway to use as comparison.
Thanks. I've already went to the shop last month. They only have one unit. Not the size I want.

Ah no luck then. He cannot special order new one for you?
Maybe have to change to another brand then but not sure also which one. Maybe try looking for M7? I've seen some ads before selling this claiming to be also made in Japan, also seems similar material but again not sure if the cone design has that dual funnel type.
