so this connects to the stock intake box.. (without the resonator part)

It probably has VERY small gains when used w/ the drop-in K&N filter

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry on our new and innovative air intake system. We are currently sent the systems to have them dyno tested. As far as I can say, we finished the one for RSX and it shows a 5% increase on horsepower from cold engine and remained the same when the engine compartment got hot. Which the competitor looses on hot engine. The system is very easy to install and specially on the new Civic. Basically, you remove all intakes piping that connect with the throttle body and also remove the stock airbox. The kit includes a cone shaped reusable cotton air filter. It comes with a satisfaction guarantee. Since they are new, please check the application on our website and you may contact your local performance shops and have them call us to order for you or you can contact Number One Part (NOPI) at www.nopionline.com , www.e-racingzone.com , www.racinglab.com , www.spoilerdirect.com .

eh its nothing that special..

its like any short ram with a heatshield over it thats directed to the opening front upper grill...

a lot of stock intake on some cars are designed like that too... the new Celica for example...



it'll probably work better than some other short ram...

hmm. I guess they come with a rubber adapter to fit on the throttle body?

probably best to try with the filter they come with... then try no filter and use stock box.

how much?? the bottom one, $79+s/h

how well?? well ...... after i drove about one hours, the pipe it self didn't get hot at all, i don't know how much gain i get .... it's getting loud after rpm 4000 and above, but the noise is not much difference than stock setup .....

installation fairly easy, if you can install CAI or SRI, you can install this .. you just need to do small modification. ....

Question : Where can i get the RED rubber pipe? you know the one from the Intake pipe to throtle body??? also the hose from intake pipe to engine???? anyone know how much??? because it looks ugly on my engine since everything else is red and the intake is blue

thanks
