Hey guys. I got home from my girlfriends house last night and to my surprize there was a box with GRUPPE M written on the side ! ! W00T W00T FINALLY IT ARRIVED ! ! this was at 10pm at night mind you and i had to wake up at 5am the next day to go work. Even though it was way past my bedtime, i thought to myself i think i better install my gruppe m intake ! ! also my brothers mate who is a mechanic was over and he offered to help install so GAME ON ! ! took us 1 hour and a bit to install and muck around with it. It came with everything u need for the installation so i was pretty happy about that n wasnt that hard to install at all, even for a paranoid noobz0r like myself! ! Also i love to say thanks to my mate for helping
After installing we took my ep3 for a spin (pity it was pouring last night, it stopped raining though but the roads were still a bit wet) and OMFG ! ! the amount of more response NOT TO MENTION THE ROAR FROM THE ENGINE BAY WAS UNF***EN BELEIVABLE ! ! ! best 820 bucks i've spent ! ! i do recommend it to anyone looking for a intake on there honda ! ! Im still yet to get a dyno and when i do ill post it up and also i will post some pictures and video clips when i can get around to it

10/10 ! ! ! Awesome response and Feels and Sounds more aggressive ! ! Worth the money if u can fork the money out for it

also it got shipped from japan on the tuesday and i received it yesterday not bad aye and the bloke from Gruppe M was kind enough to put it as a gift so that helped aswell ! ! good on ya gruppe m ! !

Are you missing a screw on the intake scoop?..... :D

yes i am. It came with all the parts because i counted everything b4 installing the intake. But somehow i dont know how i lost the 1 screw >_< and ive scanned the whole area where i took everything out of box and still couldnt find it. So im just gonna go to a local bunnings or somewhere where they sell screws and find the type and size

take in mind that this was when the aussie dollar was strong and when gruppe m japan were giving discounts. I dont think they give out the discount i received anymore unfortunately

Mate, I think you're refering to some guy who modded his K&N metal intake pipe to fit a gruppem. Afaik theres is not "Metal" elbow. Just the overly expensive silicone ones.

And yes, there is a "water diffuser"........its called a hole at the bottom of the box........:thumbsup:
