Is this patty? ahah its Peter, i got a whales dick on my ek4, pretty much gives it a loud as induction. Will show you some time

[cheapdouchebag]

yeh i know its you
but.. any benefits in accel?
why not just cai or sri.

[SuperJDM.]

js racing one for 120? sure its genuine?

[cheapdouchebag]

duno, but its better than my stock one anyway haha.
but why the change from stock to whale besides roar?

[hondaEK4]

anything aftermarket is better, your stock one is probably restricted for a certain amount of air to flow.

[dougie_504]

Stock intake box generally provides the best torque-curve but less flow up high in the range.

Whale penis is just loud and looks different IMO. Normal SRI will do the job, but you may as well do a DIY icebox setup

[Chr1s]

I think whale intakes are crap.

[dougie_504]

Yeah, waste of money coz you can easily get a SRI for half the price etc...

[TODA AU]

I think whale intakes are crap.

/\ Agreed...

+ SRI will make (on average) 5kw more accross the whole rev range too...
Hmmm, I think there something in that for everyone...
Don't you...

i come to conclusion that whales are a nono, but just for cosmetics is a yes yes
see u guys reccomend me an sri, why not cai? or sri but extended with silicon hoses to become a cai?

[dougie_504]

We recommended SRI over the Whale Penis because it's a more practical/logical/economical alternative.

But obviously, with $$$ allowing, you should go either DIY CAI or DIY Icebox by using a SRI.
