Nice mod. I'm hoping to find an RBC manifold too. where did you get yours?
Any pics of the cover installed? and if you wanted one quicker or cheaper I could have found you one. I just got one for $30.
If I end up getting a PRC intake manifold, does anyone know what's involved in modifying the the water port?
give us an update, lol
i installed the cover yesterday :D yay! finally lol... ill try get pics up tonight.Quote:

you got RBC manifold cover genuine honda for $30?!?!! thats heaps good! im thinking of buying another one, scratched mine alittle installing it :( i was in a hurry lol oops
yeah i know what needs to be done for the water port, ill put instructions up once ive written some...
well while tony was down in canberra (hey tony!:D), i let him drive my car... he didnt push her hard, but he couldnt feel any loss in low/mid end power, said it felt about the same as his '06 (only comptech icebox i think).... so we're both thinking maybe ive just lost some of the gains i got from headers/pulleys/etc... it was a very hot day, so we didnt really get to test out the top end, but he took me for a drive in his baby, damn she handles well! i gotta get myself proper coilovers!Quote:

The Icebox has improved the mid end and even the top end a bit with minimal increase in noise.Cost me approx.$260 shipped,good value.I'm still running the stock top piece of the intake with a K&N filter(thanks euroo3act).Not sure what difference in power the top piece will make when i install it. Id be interested to compare another 06-07 manual with mine,as Aaron said mine seems to go hard for a basically stock engine.:confused:Quote:
