Ep3 - Intake and Exhaust

[TonyxTony]

Hey there,

I am just wondering which Intake and Exhaust you guys are running and why.

My car is completely stock and planning to do some upgrade for better air flow and sound, I'm not chasing for more power in this upgrade.

I did some research and most people recommend the Gruppe M intake but I think its abit too much where the intake needs to be coming out from the bonnet. Anything else I can look at?

For exhaust. I think the HKS Hi Power sounds good http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=NQuelyu8ql0 .

Thanks alot!
Tony

PS. I am totally new at mods so any advice is much appreciated

get an Injen if you don't want to spend the amount for the Gruppe M. sound is good.

Many EP3 owners have the Fujitsubo RM01A and they say its very good, I don't have one myself but my mate has one and doesn't regret getting it.

Ive got an aem cai with J's Racing 60rr catback. Sounds great.. looks great. And ive had a noticeable difference in response.

Custom exhaust brah
Provided you got a good welder

I've got the RM01A. Virtually silent until you hit vtec. Highly recommend it.

I don't think there is much point getting headers on the Ep3 if you are looking for the full I/H/E. It's comes stock with a 4-2-1 so not much to be gained. Food for thought anyway.

ive got fujita cai and mugen twin loop. so far its the best sound ive had on all my honda cars the noise u make when u hit vtec = gg and very quiet on idle

Not true man at all, sorry.
J's racing header will give you up to 139kw's and others up to 147kw's. Well worth it IMHO.

Haha. Thought that would get a response. I read somewhere that there's not much gain to be made. There is always going to be something to gain from any aftermarket part but would be the least bang for your buck out of the intake, exhaust and header. That much is for sure.

Thanks for all the input, still doing more research before I get the parts.

I found this on youtube, hope to share it with everyone

It is a DC5, but I guess they will sound the same?

At the end of the day, unless you get a tune, any power gains you get from I/H/E will pretty much be negligible.

I'm running Toda exhaust and Gruppem btw.

i had Fujita CAI and Kakimoto mid pipe + Spoon Street muffler. if i get to do it again, i'd get Injen CAI + Mugen twin loop.
