best aftermarket intake (or air filter) for the "ZC" engine ?

[patchwick]

I also read that review but to be honest i think that review is a bit biased.
And the testing conditions were different for each test. I dont think anything would beat apexi or k&n,

yea dude, Encor3 is right.. if you're not in a hurry..save a bit more money then invest it on a good one, something like INJEN, AEM etc you wont regret it

here's mine...D16Y1 engine...ghetto CAI for under $90...the only exxy bit is the pod filter (K&N)







hope that gives u an inspiration to go ghetto

Considering how strong the AU$ is it might work out cheaper. I bought a similar intake for my mates prelude from that ebay store, shipping only took around a week. Fitment was easy and it sounded awesome. I plan to buy one of those for my civic in the near future

was there noticable gains?

This might sounda a bit funny guys, back in the day when my car was n/a i had just a basic CAI setup where the pod was mounted inside the cold air duct infront of my driver wheel ( with pipework to there). This wasnt too bad and very easy to construct yourself. However later down the track i found a
"Front Mount" cold air intake (sounds silly). Basically the kit was plumbing from the throttlebody down to the front bumper and connected to it was a big panel filter that sat similar to an intercooler. I gave it a go for laughs and i was surprised that it gave better gains (especially low end torque) then any Pod CAI Setup i tried.
