There was an article going around on the internet comparing these filters. The Apexi had the best filtration. I think K&N came in second and the HKS and Blitz were poor. That's probably why your friend wanted your filter.
A K&N drop in filter can work just as well as a RAI system.
Next best upgrade is a CAI system.
However, if you want a RAI system...
K&N 57i Kit or Green's Twister (complete) system ain't bad and it's easily available in Europe.
(Mind you, you're talking somewhere in the region of about 280 euros).
Otherwise, you going to have to look the other side of the pond.
There you find, Injen, Weapon R, Apexi, OBX, ....

The best intake for the ST is the Dr. CAI, as its a true CAI. For reference it uses a K&N filter, and is custom made for the 6th gen STs by a fellow celica owner.

I have a K&N drop in air filter. I know it is better than normal filters, but franky, I don't notice any performance difference.
Hey, I've got a K&N too...and I don't notice anything either but it sure beats changing your air filter every oil change. Had it for over a year, and that sucker is still pretty clean.
the dirtier it gets the better it works >wink.gif>
So here i am, the stupid one... Who sold the best air filter, and wants to buy a poor one... Stupid me...

Thanks guys for some optinios, i think ill go for apexi again...
