What intake do u guys recommend for DC5R?

**VTECfreak** · 13-11-2005 10:58 AM

Hi All,

i just bought a '02 DC5 Integra Type R and wandering which brand of intake you guys have used and recommend for the DC5?

Has anyone got the Mugen Intake kit? Its pretty expensive, but its Mugen so should improve performance.

Spoon seems to recommend keeping the stock air box and just changing the filter inside to their Spoon filter or something more high-flow. Is this true? Should i just change the filter and keep the stock air box, or should i go a pod filter type setup?

I'd be interested to hear what you fellow DC5R owners have got in your cars.

An Injen CAI is a good intake for dc5r...from what ive heard

depends on how much u want to spend.....

money not an issue - gruppe M or Mugen if u have an aftermarket front bar with the air intake slot

bang for buck - injen CAI or AEM CAI

or u can just grap the MUGEN filter, that will help a bit.
but for a NA car like DC5, i think is worth the $$ to spend on the whole air intake kit if u really lookin at performance. cos a few DC5 i saw that appeared in the speed or asm mags, they all have mugen air intake kit. i guess that tells u something...

If you have 600 bucks go and get Injen CAI, if you have 900 bucks get the Mugen Air box mate.the best one, but also the most expensive one.

This would be the obvious thing to read:

mugen,all the way

I would rather spend the money and get the Mugen kit. But as FunkyR mentioned you need a aftermarket front bar for this. Is this true?

If i just get an Apexi pod filter will i lose performance? I've heard bad things about pods and Integras.

i say Injen CAI

vtecfreak go and get mugen air box !dont need a aftermarket front bar ,as some of my fds got mugen air box,very good power gained.if you get SRI, it is alright,but not as better as mugen.
