[Ninjadust77]

i have ordered a kit... its coming in from the US

[sitta]

is this for the us civic si or the fn2?

[Ninjadust77]

my mate runs a tuning shop called In the Red and i spoke to him to see if he could get the kit in...

i should have it late next week, i'll keep u guys posted and take some before and after dyno charts aswell...

In the Red link - http://inthered.com.au/ - they are popular with the Prelude boys and have recently joined forces with TODA

[Ninjadust77]

Sitta, i see uv also ordered the kit!... i'll see u on collection!

[sitta]

ill see you on collection as well lol. but damn i live so far away from there... at least 2 hours drive. i live in the northern beaches, hopefully this worth all the effort getting it haha

[Ninjadust77]

well u know what they say, the pod alone aint really gonna give u any gains, but im ok with that coz the ECU is on its way aswell... just holding out for an exhaust system and my basic Stage 1 should be done

[sitta]

yup i have the same way of thinking as you. this is just a start for me. next is exhaust either HKS or jtune (dont know when this will come out). me and daniel, a member here as well (LD_mart) thought of importing the hks exhaust but the dealer say they need 10 orders to bring them here and so far we can't find 10 people yet.

I prefer getting this one than gruppem i bet the gruppem intake will cost about $1000 just for a little better gain than this filter.

im confused >.< i heard people say that intake wont give you any real gain but why do they state that the gain is proven when using this filter? hey at least you have the induction noise hehe the type r is too quiet

[Ninjadust77]

yeah i saw that EOI group buy... HKS would be nice,and the Jtune would be ok aswell but they promise so much and they seem to deliver very slowly... guess we'll have to sit n wait...

yeah i would get the Grouppe M aswell as their products have proven performance gains, however they just cost too much and im not a fan of cutting n chopping up any part of the car just to fit the intake scoop... it does look cool tho, but im more into "keeping her looking stock"

[ep3boy]

is there anyone selling this in melbourne? i am confused coz the gruppe m looks so awesome, and ingen which i used in my ep3 is quite good as well. will this pod gives the same induction noise as the ingen?

[alan]

anywhere that sells k&n parts can get this filter kit.
this intake has got nothing to do the the gruppe m or injen.

but will be softer in sound as the filter is enclosed in a case.
if comparing sound to the injen, will also depend where tjhe injen filter is positioned.

i tried called up the k&N dealer here. none of them has it in stock unless order it from us. is that right?
