G’day

 

The K&N Apollo is ready for sale!

 

 

 

·        ·        The Apollo is a Universal Filter which comes in 3 different colors:

 

·        ·        N$ 1766.53 Retail/Selling Price

 

·        ·        Blue (RC-5051AL)            

• Red (RC-5051AR)        
• Silver (RC-5051AS)      

 

The Apollo box contains:

 

• 70mm Cold Air Hose (with a aluminum inlet-stack)
• Instruction sheet in 4 languages: Dutch, French, German and English.
• Apollo box there is printed information and picture with the size dimensions (Dutch, French, German, English and Spanish)

 

The Apollo is sold as a Universal Filter! The consumer must add some extra parts to fit the Apollo on his/her car.

 

This should easily be possible with the part numbers below: 

• 85-6000 Flexible air hose 60mm.
• 85-6001 Rubber sleeve 70mm to 80mm.
• 85-6002 Rubber sleeve 70mm.
• 85-6003 Rubber sleeve 70mm to 60mm.
• 85-6004 Stainless steel saddle bracket with clamp and a universal bracket.

 

K&N advise the maximum horsepower of approx 250bhp for normally aspirated cars and 350bhp for car with a turbo!!

I think this is the answer for a snazzy looking cold air system.

 

I quite often get requests on how to either convince the dealers to allow a UNICHIP to be fitted to a brand new vehicle or on how to convince Leasing companies to allow and pay for these units. I undertake to repair any damage caused by the Unichip, which should make all parties more comfortable. But the best is still for the customers to push the Leasing agent/dealer before the purchase or transaction is made. With the Fuel price what it is now; nobody should be without such a conversion.

 

It will not console my esteemed customers that I paint my Exhaust system now, as well as building them in easily removable sections. Considering that I must increase the prices soon.

I am confident that we still build the best systems (2mm thick black steel tubing with seamwelded Galvanised silencers) and at the best price.

 

I am often approached on how to get an “interview” with me or discuss certain topics. I have no problem with that, as there are things that need discussions at length.

I would suggest the following options:

Either you make an appointment during working hours or preferably

You do an early morning breakfast with me (as far as I am concerned the most important meal of the day)

Or we go for dinner or a drink (not a Namibian style booze up, please) after work.

But please do not waltz into my shop and expect me to stop Dynotuning a car to discuss with me at length on how to fix somebody else’s mistakes and where to get body kits for your Kia grey import.
