Custom Intake Pic!! (i finally got it done)

Have you done your intake yet TypeG?

It may not gain low-end, but there is no apparent loss (which is the important thing). If there is anything lost, it would be so negliable that you would need a dyno to prove it. But then how accurate is a dyno really when comparing mods that have marginal effects...

i dun have intake done but i just take all my previous carssssssss to compare that since i try pod and replacement and that's show me that
moreover, street use will never go pod which i always has been told after i know fair a bit on Honda....

plus.... i feel it fast when i install it in my first Honda but actually not.... from figure

I think the pod setup on more highly tuned honda engines will have a detrimental effect...engines like the B16/18 and F20 will suffer more because they are tuned on the edge. The margin of error isn't as big in something built for economy like the L15.

I've had mine installed for almost 12 months now and I still think mine is fast...plus I am getting better fuel economy than anyone else too....

jus-10 where did u get ur apexi intake for $250?

I ordered it through www.modyourcar.com.au

If I were to do it again, I would use the factory box (because it will keep the low end response), and use a Spoon or Trust replacement panel (about $120 I think). Then run a cold air pipe to the front.

This will be your cheapest option and it will give the best all-round gains IMO. Spoon use the factory box (albeit modified) so there must be something in that...

If you want outright noise, get the pod. That said you will get better noise with the modded factory box...just not quite as loud.

u reckon i could get the spoon replacement panel from the site?
what else do i need to run the cold air?? does that mean that the cold air pipe is custom work?
