his cars stock, so is mine, cept for the filter and dang 0-200kms at the lights i beat him by about 2-3 car lengths.

to make sure one isnt a big difference better driver we swapped cars and similar result in the 2-3 car lengths range

hows the response in low - mid end compared to stock?
any power gains in the top end?

Do you normally need to get your car tunned when you change your intake?

^ no tuning is required after you install your intake.

personally i think Mugen intake with Mugen/Cwest front bumper>GruppeM>Mugen intake by itself.

Anyone looking to buy one for DC2R?
Maybe we can organise something.

apparently the intake for dc2r's arnt as good as the dc5r's, for the dc2r it's pretty much just a CF heat shield over the pod, getting a mugen intake would be a better way to spend the money. My 2c anyway

Is the Injen CAI even comparable with the Gruppe-M. on a Stock new Type S?

injen works differently its a cool air intake... which sits at the front of your bumper rushes cold air in from there.. and to fit injen intake requires to take off your front bar... with the gruppe M just undo stock airbox and fit this 1 in its place.. sound wise is different too... gruppeM sounds alot better dunno about gains... i think gains would be similar...

XP02ED : the intake looks awesome. makes me want to get one too.

I think your airfilter mustn't be exposed (correct me if i'm wrong), so I don't think the injen one is legal (if that matters to you).

The Injen CAI intake is half the price(inc install) of the GruppeM(no install) and You can't really see it in the enclosed space they fit it to.

Im sure you can get away with it.
Im just thinking about the $$$$ is the GruppeM really worth the noise Defect

Does it out perform the Injen??:o

You cant get defected for gruppeM as the pod is in a box covered and not exposed ... they both do similar things... just sound differences and where they sit ... overall they do the same thing ... It all comes down to what you can afford... $$ Overall i think the gruppeM is a better intake as you dont have to take the front bar off everytime u wanna clean it etc...
