J'S racing Intake System

[vkhaw]

hey guys, im just wandering if you could help me - driving a Integra DC2.
im deciding on an Apexi intake system or an J'S racing intake. JS is more expensive due to carbon. Though is there any big difference?

i know that the Apexi intake gives a nice sound. has anyone experience J'S intake?

I got the copy. Its fantastic. Not sure what the power gains are but there is definately a difference. Free revs much better now and feels/sounds like its breathing better.

Does your DC2 have abs?? Cause your ABS unit might be in the way.

j's racing made one special for dc2 with abs..
different to ek / eg

yeah its a perfert fit. but im just wandering abt the 2 difference's. is it worth the extra $$$$ ??

also the quality of sound? is there big sound difference between Apexi and J'S racing ? which one would u prefer?

You are talking about intake system right ? not a subwoofer or tweeters ? hehe.

anyway J's produce a nice sound + response better than apexi

Yes but what about the heat soak you get from it.
This is one of the dilemmas i think about (and what is stopping me from puchasing one)

custom heat shield box bro.
I personally had one myself and did a qik airbox/heat shield for it.

I'm also using the apexi with a custom box around it.

If you want the best of both worlds, get the J's racing intake, and put on an Apexi filter at the end. Just make sure you have enough space as the Apexi filter requires an adapter.

i think dynodave has dyno'ed the J's racing intake system before... u dont make much gains... i recommend u getting a long ram intake, like plazaman ones as it has proven gains already...

hey guys, thanx for ur posts! appreciate it. i actually went for the JS Racing. i went for JS because its $100 extra - i get an carbon fibre tube!, a much greater responce (looked at graphs) and the noise factor. its all worth a little extra.
thanx

I have a genuine J's carbon intake on my car and I wouldn't use anything else. Feel fantastic and has a definate increase in power over stock.

My personal opinion with this intake is it's design - it causes air to be sucked towards the manifold with more velocity. The "whale penis" has been copied numerous times - there is a reason for that.

but the throttle body end is still the same size as the standard one so the velocity will be exactly the same

EDIT: unless there is more air getting sucked into the intake, then there would be more air trying to get thru hence a higher velocity, hmmmm
