it says EK sedan as your car, and vtec so i take it you have a D16Y5, Its a VTEC-E motor you are not going to have hektik crossover....

SRI will have a louder roar since pod aint to far. CAI would have a deeper note with added piping.
I dont even have vtec yet i love the growl i get past 5k revs and onwards to the red zone. Be happy with what you got.
vtec is overrated.
yeah the whale style intake is the loudest you can get as far as intakes go ...
i went from a Simota whale style intake to a Fujita CAI Black Edition and its HEEPS quieter
as for vtec crossover on the D series - dont get your hopes up - i just run no vtec D, dont have to worry about it + smoother power curve lol
if anything with sri, u will loose power lol, penis whale is the same as sri, so no difference, but hey if its sound ur after, by all means do it.... cai is the only way to go if wanting bit more power... btw, any intake system on d-series u will loose power an torque down low rpm, sri or cai
as strange as it sounds - i think i lost a little too much power when i swapped mine over
sure - the SRI was getting too much heat soak from the radiator - and my Fujita system has cold air straight from the front bumper
but the car just doesnt have as much top end as it used to - alot better throttle response with the CAI - i got much better response from my B18c when i upgraded to Fujita kit
out of all the intakes i have tested the bes 'all rounder' is still the Simota whale style intake
1. if ur after sound u've got the loudest intake u can get for ur car on a budgetQuote:

3. i dont know whats the difference between cai brand, its just a long pipe with a pod that enables more air flow, and you'd probably not feel a thing cause ur cars slow to begin with and is fairly stock with a restricted exhaust
i personally never felt any difference when putting a SRI or CAI in lol
its all in your mind ;) you put the intake in "oh i think i can slighty feel bigger in high rpm"
nah its just ur bodies G-force meter is broken mwaku - go ask God for a new one lolQuote:

but only a slight difference on my EG8
but i can definatly feel the cars response and power come in from different RPM ranges with different intake setups
also always make sure you reset the ECU and idle for 10min after u change one over...
im with ya there saint.
i had a HKS super power flow sponge filter for my automatic d15b for the the fun of it as i got it for free
it did sound alot better, way better than the stock sound, the crossover pull wasnt noticeable but the crossover noise became a load noticable (i have a very acute hearing)
but lets put it way op, at best your sohc vtec n/a will sound like this (i know you dont have these mods etc. etc.)

where as your trying to achieve this with a sohc vtec

obviosuly wont happen.
as lukey said - vtec is overated. it has become a boys toy when their on their p's because p plates cant drive turbo
in a idodic street racing scene it has like become the new ''dosing'' imo. being a trafficlight hero so the world can hear the vtak kikin in n shiz, but really, its nothing lol
hrm - vtec is still a really cool tech - and nothing brings the fond memories back like a good B series crossover
but i think iv grown up and out of that - as i prefer the sound of that JDM D15 =D
Yeh sounded way better. The b16 crossover is to loud and kinda ruins it. Smooth growl, gets louder then all of a sudden screams. Its not a gradual nice note like the d15.Quote:

i don't think i've seen any worthwhile/non-smartass posts from you lolQuote:
