Short ram intake

[hectic_filo]

What do you guys think of the this short ram from ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/92-93-95-HONDA-CIVIC-EG-D15-D16-SHORT-RAM-INTAKE-FILTER_W0QQitemZ110414358768QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_ Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item19b53568f0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A1%7C66%3A4%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294 %3A200

for the honda civic EG VEi Vtec-E 1.5ltr sedan? Cold air is too expensive and just looking for extra performance. What do you guys think?

Do it but only buy it for the metal pipe.. the air filter wud be as useless as using a sponge for a filter. Grab a 3A racing or K+N etc pod filter to replace that one. Thats what I did.. and it works a charm!

thanks for the info m8, is the price worth if for the pipe only and the fittings?

hey there, im not tryn to be a smart a** or anythn, but is the "small hole" suppose to be near the pod, n not near the silicon fitting??
other than tat, i agree with da9_boy to get a better pod filter..
g'luck!! :D

i wouldnt buy it. 45 bucks plus 30 shipping is steep.
you can go to a muffler shop and ask them to mandrel bend you a piece of pipe to look exactly like that for less :)

80+ is quite expensive to be honest.
is half of what u can get for a better brand.

and u wont see much of a difference.
sound better.
looks better. other than that, nth is better



i would pay up to 50 for those.

i dont know of any muffler shop in your area but any shop can do it. i DIY'd my own CAI yrs back from offcuts they had lying about.
print off the pic of that intake and see if they have an offcut lying about or if they can make it.
use mild steel to keep the cost down and buy ceramic coat spray paint to spray the inside and outside of the intake.

thanks for the idea m8 just waiting for the tax money and my intake is coming hehe:)

[saxophonias]

still the custom pipings are rarely aluminium. They are steel, very heavy and the curbs not smooth. Be careful with that.

[hectic_filo]

well i finally got my SRI setup the other day and install it.. Bought it used same thing the one in ebay.. HP increase and louder..the pipe that i have is pretty light..

luving the intake hehe..

G'day guys a bit off topic but got a small question.

Has anyone seen these for sale in australia

SIMOTA SUPER INTEL BIG CARBON TUBE

These are basically large snake like Air intakes for civics.

Just haven't seen much about them in Australia, only came across one in
hot 4's Honda mag, there was a EG with a B16a with this on it.

Cheers
