Also, does anyone know where to get the K&N piping?

bla bla bla
finally. adjustment made by adding cushioning tape to absorb the rattling noise and now it is perfect, zero rattle when applying 100% throttle. The intake quality is superb, performance as well and especially the sound, the vtec crossover is CLEAR noticeable, just like the traditional vtec. 100% worth buying!!

xposed, what have you had in there? lol
my mates had tampons in there, just depends..
people may knoe if u have a gruppem and shove sumtin in for the fun of it..
if had tissue in mine one time!
Leaves and tree stuff i find in mine all the time
has anyone tried to fit the intake with aluminium piping yet? (instead of the OEM black plastic one)
I need to do somthing like that cause my oem plastic shit cracked
yeah, I wonder whether they will fit and sit exactly like the plastic one's does.Quote:

I think I mite go the silicone piping instead tho
look at the start, i did. i customised a knn typhoon topQuote:

Do you guys have a problem with the gruppe m where it keeps on popping out, and leaning more towards the passenger side? Is it because the engine rocks too much?
are u using the stock piping?
popping out from where?
from the cowl top, i think he means
i had a custom intake piping which is how i fixed it.
and i did.. no issues and good blingQuote:

I would use 3M VHB tape to secure it down to the cowl.
no dont use a tape, its useless as theres to much pressue, and ur not the only one having this issue.
the issue is that when u launch your car engine pushes back and forth which causes the intake to follow and the piping aint stiff which when out of place it stays there.
ur problem is that it isnt sitting on the cowl top after driving right. go to supercheap and buy 3" silicon extention ( get black) and some clamps and extend it from the gruppem to the stock piping.
costs about 10 from memory for it, usually used for turbo setups for the piping connection
YES that is exactly the problem. When i was down at ozhonda trackday, i saw charger intake and another dc5 as well. the gruppe m rubber is more worn on the passenger side.Quote:

Its cause the gruppem has now support on the back besides the 1 mount it has support on which doesnt stablize it. the stock piping is short which if you by the silicon thingo to extend it will fix the issue and to stop the rubbing grinding the cowl top, u can buy door stop adhesive rubber.
although this wont rely work as constant rain etc wil tear it.
ok after securing airbox to prepare for track so it doesn't move around. After the first session on the track, the intake piping has a slit in it, could this be because there are no room for the airbox to move around?
Should i replace it with a new stock piping? or should i go something else?
That happened to me as well. it happened cause i clamped the hose first b4 all the other adjustment. I got another one and secured the gruppem then clamped the hose. hasn't broken at all,
If it ever breaks again i mite get a KNN pipe and modify it like some else did here b4
My intake pipe split after a while with the Gruppe M. I replaced it with a new one from Honda. I don't remember how much it cost be but I don't think it was very cheap. You may be better off getting something aftermarket, just don't get one of those stupid aluminium pipes.Quote:

You dont buy ARC for its function, you buy it for its bling.Quote:

ghetto as though.
That is something i should try out lol maybe i will order myself a mugen front strut brace when the yen go back to 65-70yens lolQuote:

theres a J's racing one going cheap on CITR if you want.
where can i get those foam??Quote:

i got it from clark rubber. if ur in melb you can have my leftovers.
how mcuh was it?
when i put my gruppeM in it was making so much noise! Clark rubber just go buy some foam with the adhesive and put some in a couple of places like firewall and on the bottom of your strut bar(were u cant see it) and no more noise.. (well if there is noise i dont hear it on vtec!!)
all i can find was double sided one, can u direct me on where to purchase single sided adhesive foam tapeQuote:

where the rubber is and the length of the rubber ?
I'm planning to buy a gruppe m. Any one want to group buy?
Top quality Intake, great sound combo for me..
Ms intake + stock header + Mugen twin loop and instantly the sound coming from the car justify the spending for DC5 imo, very happy with the intake. Wouldnt have done it any other way.
i also notice mid range improvement in 2/3/4 gear too... which is what i want.
If you perfer deep note instead loud then twin loop is the way to go,

Cool! Glad to hear your positive comment on the GruppeM. I have bought one too, just waiting for shipping. And I'm running same set up with you (stock header + Mugen twin loop) on my ep3. Can't wait them to arrive my door!!!Quote:

Hey guys. Sorry for reviving old thread, I didnt want to start a new thread. Just wondering if anyone elses gruppe m intake makes a funny noise like a fake turbo whistle. I didnt install the intake as i bought it with one. The noise does my head in sometimes. It only happens when I accelerate. Can someOne help me?
Thats the noise from the gruppm

Check the hose clamps on the intake arm and the gruppe m intake and pod itself.
I have a gruppe m on a ep3 and no such noise. Actually it's a very subtle deep
Tone until vtec in which it makes a nice brassy note
Thats what i was thinking too. Maybe theres a leak in the pipe or somewhere. Will take it apart this weekend to check it out
