What intake do u guys recommend for DC5R?

[FunkyR]

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.

u dont need an aftermarket front bar, but without it ur not getting the full potential out of the mugen

the mugen snorkel ends up sucking air from just above the radiator

[VTECfreak]

Well the decision is made then! Mugen it is!

Thanks for your advice guys!

jz a simple question, which bit is the "front bar" of the car?

[FunkyR]

Oh yeah a few more things:

An intake does make a difference but dont expect anything too huge....

I have a dyno from the Mugen catalog for DC5R - the Mugen intake on a JDM DC5R with the Mugen front bar for the ram air effect made 4PS at the flywheel.

I have another article (from HyperRev Integra no 77 vol 3) where they dynoed a JDM DC5R with a J's racing header and exhaust already on and it made 8.9PS at the flywheel. But keep in mind the mods might have allowed more potential for gains from the intake....

Oh yeah, dont believe the US guys claiming 24whp from the AEM / Injen CAI.... What a load of !@#%@!

[R123]

but with the addtion of the end exhaust only (mugen) does that help with the power gain? or jz for the look and the sound?

[Banana]

mugen is not everything, u might be better offf getting a custom pipe with an apexi air filter.

4 hp for 900$, thats real bang for buck!!!!

[locote]

keep your 900 and buy a k&n and put it in your standard box and make up your own CAI, thats wat i did instead of paying 100+$$ only cost me 15 from bunnings, and has same effect

[CJL]

If your gonna create a beast or want the best of the best well go out and get the mugen, but otherwise get something else

[R123]

5zigen is also making good exhaust too.. how abt toda?

[FunkyR]

dont get an apex SRI - I've seen 2 seperate dynos now and they both lost power or made jack all difference....

[kenji]

I would go either Gruppe M or Injen CAI
