hmm my cowl top was perfect, fitted well no problem at all!

the clamp should be tight enough although it may move a little, but mine is setup different to your standard piping as mine doesnt move coz im using the knn typhoon pipe

Ok I got one for my EP3! Will I need modifying since the kit is actually for my car?

[XP02ED]

Nah dude no modification

im not sure with ep3 but im pretty sure no major mods needed just the cowl top on the passenger side needs to be changed

I told Hoya about the cowl top. He said to send him some pics and he will see whart he can do. Hopefully he will send me a replacement cowl top .

I found a honda problem last night. I'm missing the screw that holds the bracket to the engine for the Brace 0323. I now know why there is so much movement.

[XP02ED]

ah there should be a bracket which bolts onto the intake which holds it up, that shouldnt be missing at all! unless you forgot to put it on

take some pics and show us

U miss understood.

GruppeM supplies a brace called ( Brace 0323 ), which is screwed onto a bracket(which held the original air box). that bracket has a bolt that holds it to the engine that is missing on mine. which make the brace useless. I dont even know what size bolt i need. Im going to take it to honda so they can put it in. it should be there. the car is brand new.

my airbox is quite close to the heatshield screw.... actually.,.. it's touching...

had to put some cushion tape on it..

sounds bloody awesome though!

forgot to mention massive improvement. it want to keep going to 9k rpm, It goes to 8500 b4 it realizes to cut out so i got an extra 100rpm out of this intake nice

[Mattski_VTIR]

Are u sure the intake allowed you to rev an extra 100rpm? As i dont see how the intake would have change the rev limiter??? Anyone else care to share ?

I think its that it getting there heaps faster and doent cut out till the niddle hit 8500,

[Mattski_VTIR]

Cool, as i do know that my Type S rev limiter would move slightly (100rpm iether way) on the tacho depending on load, gear etc. Not sure if the car is revving more or the Tacho is out, but it did this before the intake. I personally haven't noticed anymore RPM being pulled out of the engine since installing the intake. None the less glad to hear your enjoying it, the sound of VTEC up around 8500rpm is just Magic.
