front mount air filter

[UW15HN]

hey there i was thinking of getting this

http://i11.ebayimg.com/01/i/03/d5/c9/aa_2.JPG

its a front mount air filter.. but i want to know if it will make a difference on a stock ek civici engine..

also what will happen if it gets wet?? since its located on the front bar

[TON32Z]

where can u get that from man

[z3lda]

if it gets wets you'll go faster . I.E nos wet shot. so the more water you get into the filter and the faster it gets sucked up the intake pipe into your engine, the faster you'll go.
50hp can be expect from front mount water sucking filters. excellent mod in my opinion

[JDM.Power]

nice mod go for it!!
an then come back an give us a feedback

[UW15HN]

they have them for $180 at autojoy..
but i found one on ebay

[**Ghost**]

i really cant believe are thinking of getting this... no ofense dude not dissing u but seriously man this is one bad idea... ur sucking water right outta the fking air... stick ur head outta the window on a rainy day while driving... see how much of that rain gets on ur facE? thats going on ur filter, up ur intake, into ur engine

some people love hydro locking their engine :D
gives them an excuse for a vtec conversion :p

[Steer^Gimic]

do not get this. its a shameless mod. so cheap n nasty. may as well stick a hose down your valve cover.

[Fattony]

You might aswell run a flexible pipe from the front of your car straight to your inlet, would fo the same job in catching water, but prob do a better job of ramming air into your engine.

[^^v]

yeah i wouldnt recommend gettin this...
big risk of ur intake gulping a whole lota water when it rains...

[Steer^Gimic]

not just that. it looks really really gay

[sheepo]

dun get it, like what others said

[UW15HN]

oh sorry forgot to mention..

at autojoy there is a perspex cover that goes over the front.. it has small 5c sized holes.. not much water hits the air filter on a rainy day unless you pour water onto it..

well will a pod filter be better than this? performance wise?

im talkin a simota CAI for $220 or k&n

[panda[cRx]]

get 2 of them man!
add twice the horsepower! :)

[**Ghost**]

go for it go for it get it dyno tuned : ) !! JDM YO!

(panda we are so going to get banned for this)

[**Ghost**]

ur stock air box is beter than the pod filter man.... unbolt, rip out the insulating material and put in a k/n panel filter... its loud, its clean, its better.

a pod filter is no good cos its sucking air right outta ur engine bay... which is HOT air btw... if u duct cold air to it, however, it becomes ok

and iwth regards to the perspex cover with 5c sized holes on the try hard front mount intercooler.... remember God does make rain droplets in sizes smaller than the 5c hole

[|N|]

stupid

[Macros]

Look at where the intake pipe is. Air would have to make a 90 degree turn. Would be very turbulant too.

It's just a fake intercooler. 100% rice.

[sheepo]

please don't get it

[dc2dc2dc2]

if you say so...

[mister]

dangerous modification unless u only drive on dry days.

[hondafever]

I said go for it, look sick mateeeeee,, it is like fake intercooler shape. definately go for it, ... look awesome

[joyride]

i dont know if the noobs are kidding or actually serious about getting this.
noobs, lol.

[sula99]

one can only hope.....

[ekslut]

Its a waste of time and money.....and you would probably loose power too. Honda have designed the civic well, just get a good panel filter and you will be fine. If you want to gain that extra 1kw more, then get yourself an air intake system with a pod filter at the end.

[LO_N_SXC]

He might as well drive with no air filter! looks gay and it's just another wannabe Cooler but if you do get it don't forget to buy one of those N/A car Blow off valves! woooosssshhhhhhhh! lol

[panda[cRx]]

']get 2 of them man!

i stand by what i said!!!

hey why not go for 3 of them!!:D

[civ_sik]

lol better hope it dosnt rain while your driving otherwise your faaarked lol

[Nikki]

water going in the flter isnt really a probem but it is when water goes into the intake

[CRXY01]

This filter is not!!!! a cool idea at all, not only is rain going to be a problem but thing how dusty your car gets, that will be your filter. When dust goes in the intake hmmmm not cool!!

[panda[cRx]]

what are u on about man???

GET 4 OF THEM :D

4 times the POWWWAAAHHHHH

(why is this stoopid thread still open? lol)

[CTR Coupe]
