So the noise from the GruppeM does not exceed the EPA's Regulations on Air intake noise, which is enfored by Police. Thats news to me, I didn't buy one cause my mate got Defected and he had a stock DC5S.Quote:

reguardless of what intake you have.
I think you will get a similar noise level from injen intake... but a different sound is produced with the gruppe M.. it sounds very unique compared to other intakes..... most intakes will make a loud noise... so if your gonna get defected it will happen with any of them... but if its in a box should be ok.... if you want it to be quiet go the mugen intake it is quiet ... and you get gains which your after .. Mugen intake is the one for you..
I'll get the Injen one if its possible to take the filter out from underneath the car.
If i remove that black cover maybe, ill have to investigate.
Oh how do i get a point i think im still new comer cause of that.
if you want to permenantly remove the black plastic near your front left wheel, the air filter will be exposed to water and debris. This will damage your filter and perhaps suck in water and make the filter dirtier than it needs to be.
the main diff your looking at from injen to mugen/gruppe M is the throttle response (thanks Tofu :P)
with the mugen/gruppe M they use the stock mounting point for the air filter. So throttle response is going to be sharp.
with the Injen system, the pipes comes off the throttle body, has a bend... then another, then another, then rests in front of the wheel.
so at the end of it... you have about 3-4 times more pipe then the other two.
I have never had a injen on my car, so i can't say if the throttle response is noticable or not... but this is something you have to look into.
If your short on cash and are keen to get a mugen/Gruppe M in the future, maybe do the hondata airbox mod (hacking away your stock airbox).
yeah, everything u want to get just depend on what u can affort, and i think if u are not a highly demand on gain power, just pick one of them u like~cheers
cool~pls post it here when u done it, atm u using stock catback?
POST THE VIDEO YO!! get your mate to hold the camera standing outside of the car an u drive past hitting vtec y0!
i got an injen, i must say that the response of the car has slightly fallen low end, but ive heard this can be fixed after tuning. correct me if im wrong, just what i heard.
IMO the injen is bang for bucks for the gains your getting, and the extra money can be better spent on other mods. plus the lose of slight low end doesnt really bother me, i dont drive under 3000rpm anyways. though if you got the dosh, go the bling box gruppem! better yet go ITB's! *drools*
a thread that covers all three intakes ... might interest you guys

INjen is good bang for buck. Gruppe M is probably better but if ur budget is lower injen by no means is a shit intake mod. besides if the loss in low end is bothering you, get 4-2-1 header + exhaust
