someone asked for some advice whether to get custom intake or a product off the shelf. if u have nothing to say there is a section called 'The Lounge'. its for ppl that wanna make a comment that means something next to nothing. as for ur uncalled for comment, it totally fits perfectly in there.

OK, here goes....

My keyboard was broken (wtf??)....and only some of the keys were working....so quoting was all i could do (unfortunately).....the few words that i did type were in word-insert-symbol...and then clicking each letter!!!

I dont think there is a point in spending $400+ on a brand name cold air intake kit. The gains are soo minimal that it is literally throwing money down the drain. getting some piping made up to emulate these products (with a quality filter -eg. K&N) would do an almost identical job....but cost a mere fraction.

There is no concern for damaging your precious honda....unless you do something retarded.......you can always chuck the stock airbox/resonators back..

as far as the above passage is concerned...it is a complete wank....i make no appologies on my views about this.

Im not trying to make enemies here.....im sorry if i upset you....i just dissagree with you....but thats cool....cause everyone's entitled to their point of views.


PS- here are some good DIY CAI links:

That intake test is fatally flawed. On a dyno, the bonnet is open, which completely negates the use of a CAI, also the stock filter was exposed, which in normal circumstances would make it suck in hot air, but in this case it was getting cold air.....so effectively the stock airbox is also a CAI without the restriction of the longer and bendier piping.

In fact most intake tests arent worth the paper they're written on bc they dont simulate actual driving situations at all.

Not to mention that this was on an S2000 which flows much more air than a vtir teg and hence the gains are somewhat different.

cheers

I have just got my hands onto a dc2 airbox, and i will let you know how this compares to the civic airbox soon.
