the 13kw gain sounds impressive on paper and i must say it's an excellent result from a CAI alone (although exxy but very good quality).
however iirc, the dyno sheet revealed most gain is at the top end after vtec kicks in. obviously there are gains at the mid range but not as dramatic.
my point is, when choosing a CAI, it is important to look at cost/benefit. there are others CAI that are cheaper with less peak gain but might have similar mid range gain. we should consider our application b4 spending $1k on a CAI.
also consider the clearance issue with some after market tower bar and Gruppe M CAI. ie. apparently only J's Racing ones will fit, Cusco/Carbing won't.
Yeah gruppe m is a great intake but for the price of it now its worth looking elsewhere. Only reason why i bought it was because i could buy it for 850 and on civic type r uk forums it was 1 of the intakes most stood by and recommended. People on clubitr recommended it aswell. Also m&m honda front tower bar also clears the gruppe m
went for a drive, just a cruise to a mates house then i start to here knocking noise, everytime i put my foot on the accelerator, and it knocks though the peddle and steering wheel, i stopped to have a look but i dont see anything leakin or broken, anyone have a clue what could be wrong?
it happens everytime i put my foot on and off, 1st all the way to 6th and still feel it knock, im thinking the dirveshaft? something else?
