Which Intake?

[Wazza]

Hey guys,

Looking at buying an intake for my VTi-R, choices are:
1. Mugen Air Cleaner & Box
2. AEM Cold Air Intake
3. Comptech Icebox Cold-Air Intake
4. K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kit

Any suggestions? What do you guys have on your cars? Are there any other options?

Thanks in advance

Top fuel power chamber....I will buy...^^

[kenshin]

mugen... looks the part :)

you source out some prices yet thou?

[tanghy]

mugen, save up, buy it right the first time

[rtype]

yes. Mugen airbox is the way. it cost abit but worth it.i had one on my car

[Money]

Mugen for sure! worth more but gain power for sure!

[JRC]

Perhaps AEM V2. got that on my car and breathes a hell of a lot better

[spoondc2]

There are some choices which is pretty good compare with others
J's Intake
HKS racing intake
Mugen Box
ARC Box

It's hard to say which one is better or the best, they are all aim for different purpose, like Throttle response, Max power and heat resistant, so make sure to find out what you need before getting anything

If you want good gains and have the dosh get the mugen :thumbsup:

If you want loud ass wooshing sounds (which imo rawks) with still alright gains and want to spend around $400 get the aem :D

I am using K&N right now :thumbsup: with mugen box copy :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[JRC]

Where do you get them and how much is it?

I bought mine off ebay. I dont think anywhere in Aus supplies it but it's giving good gains with a mad sound.....also its hard to get defected for cos the cops cant see the pod....

It costs bout 350 shipped...maybe less now that our dollar is good

dunno about the Aem v2, its pretty similar to a SRI isn't it?

That is, it still sucks in a lot of hot air from the engine especially where it is situated, so u'd be pretty bogged down when you take off but from what i understand once you get going you make power all the way through the rest of the rev range since air temp will be really similar to outside air

I guess you compromise a quicker take off for more power once you get going, the mugen is the best of both worlds and the cai is better for mid range

so basically the way i see it is, if your a traffic light battler get a cai, if you like rolling starts get a sri or the v2, otherwise buy the mugen and get the whole package :thumbsup:

Oh and if you decide to go AEM speak to Quantum Racing in QLD, contact no is 07 3290 5911, they are the official distributors of Aem in Oz

[JRC]

With the V2, it's a long pipe that goes down into the front side of the engine bay....I don't think it cops much hot air there cos it's no longer near the headers or anything.....but when i looked at there dyno sheets it gave more power across the whole rev range

[edw-R]

Buy mugen!! No other way!!

[cokeking123]

maybe try ARC intake + chamber

[Yspool]

Im buying the Comptech Ice BOX getting it soon i hope and fill do a full install report for you guys! I think the mugen is good but comptech seems to be on par with it and alot less money!

[Wazza]

What is the price of a Mugen Air Box and a Comptech Ice Box?

[egSi]

K&N... More bang for your buck :)
omg yeah!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Yspool]

Mugen bout $1k and comptech about $600!


What is the price of a Mugen Air Box and a Comptech Ice Box?

[tanghy]

comptech lacks on throttle repsonse

[LatinoHatchCrap]

no one said Apexi :(

[tanghy]

apexi = filter on a pod

[Yspool]

comptech lacks on throttle repsonse
Ill have to disagree mate i just install my and i think the response is really good! unless the mugen is just unbeleavable!

[LO_N_SXC]

apexi = filter on a pod

Yeah I agree I have one on my LS and it goes much better than my old K&N!
Apexi can be improved on by re-locating it to the back of the front bar, out of the heat from the enginebay! :)

I plan to do this this up coming weekend! hopefully????? :D

[tanghy]

Ill have to disagree mate i just install my and i think the response is really good! unless the mugen is just unbeleavable!\

[Bludger]

[Yspool]

[tanghy]

[vti-r teg]

just wondering if the gain is really worth $1k? thats a lot of dough that could go towards other mods?

[[XsCaPe]]

Is anybody able to prepare (or has a link to) some sort of table which lists the various intakes and their corresponding (rough) pricetag?

and maybe even a third column with some words a bout the expected performance gain.
