Im thinking on getting a cold air intake. i want an injen cai but atm i dont have the funds for it.
so i was thinking of getting a simota intake. does anyone know weather its good? if not is there any other intakes that fit the simota price range or maybe slightly more expensive?
thanks

hey tom! yeah i ended up buying a intake from him and installed it. and it sounds CRAZY. i havent put in the full piping as yet because i need an angle grinder or something to make the hole bigger where the old restrictor use to be.
i feel alot more pull in the car so its doing the job fine. besides it looks blinging :D
ill be sure to post up some photos

I reckon you should save up for the Injen do it once and do it right.

usually 100% agree, however
seriously dude, its an intake, realistically the biggest effect its gonna have is noise, so if the simota sounds good buy it, if your willing to spend the extra just for the injen badge then so be it, but don't expect it to make more than a 1-2 hp difference. unless your spending mega bucks, it will just make VTEC roar :cool:
looks good for the price:thumbsup:

not much difference between an Injen CAI and a Simota CAI. about the same power gain.
i meant 1-2 over stock for the both lol not injen has 2 hp over simota
