Any ideas where i can pick one up from

i dont know about you but i wouldnt do it since the type r is fast enough for normal roads. I own a type r as well and im very very happy with the performance, any mods will be exterior mods if they have carbon fibre bonett and lips i would certainly get it. I had a bad experience with a ram intake since they ****ed up my air flow sensor in my previous car and since it was bmw the part costed me $800

really bad experience

are you serious?

Im not doing it for performance just sound.............

u have to be careful with air flow sensor, im sure it will be ok, ive had plenty of air filters on my previous hondas.

nothing gives me more of a rush than the sound of the vtec at night screaming through the streets!

try the gruppe-M they have one for the ep3 not sure if itll fit the fd2 but its an idea since they both share the same engine

so it is not a "flow" sensor - hence no issue when changing intake pipe...

The FN2 type-R does not use a MAP sensor
Honda has switch to MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor
probably to meet tighter emission laws
so when changing intake you do have to be careful not to affect the sensor

It's a great sound. A drug almost. I got a CAI on my DC5 last week. Don't forget that SRIs and CAIs more than likely make your car defect worthy. The noise levels far outweigh the exhaust. My Fujitsubo Power Getter is 99db @ 5000rpms. The CAI is 102db @ 5000rpm. I couldn't test the CAI in VTEC obviously because the car needs to be moving, but it gets louder than what I was getting below 5,900rpm.

Looks really good...if you actually want to hear what they sound like here's a link to a swedish site..click under the picture of the AEM intake picture 'Ultan and Med' and watch the video's..
