My buddys civic and mine pull the exact same off the line (like a couple of toyota echos) but his car feels way faster to be in cause his loud *** exaust and his intake.

Rep Power: 306 i just put mine back on a while ago, after my ebay intake's filter was dirty and i was going on a 3k mile road trip. it feels like it pulls harder, but im still buying an aem cai from a member on here.

Im considering an AEM SRI solely for the nicer sound. I hate the stock whine of the engine at higher rpms and would like some dignity back. im probably going to grab one off a member here and paint it black with high temp paint cause i hate flashy pipes.

Rep Power: 285 ive been contemplating getting a cai or leaving stock, i dont want a sri..........
the only problem is i have a 1 piece spoon strut bar that is worht more to me than putting in a intake cus id have to remove it, so im not sure if i should stay stock or try and put half of a cai onto the box on the throttle body, or maybe just buy a new strut bar and the whole k&n cai........ im lost on it all but im getting an rsr exhaust and want a subtle tone like you hear from a g35 or something stock so i figure stock intake will help me get that

Rep Power: 0 But now that I think of it... That may only be because I forgot to put the IAT sensor back into the intake.

Rep Power: 0 a heat sheilded short ram (ie k&n or custom heat sheild) is way better than that horrid stock labyrenth of noise canceling restricted airflow that is the stock airbox(s). the engine breathes so much more free, regardles of not gaining hp, you can definatly tell its quicker to rev and probly gives you 1 or 2 hp/mpg so why not. the full CAI lose low end on all applications ive seen, i wouldnt run one, + i live in florida and would swamp it in a week.

Rep Power: 0 I did before my turbo, I tried a couple intakes, and the airbox was probably faster than most. But my intake now is fine. but thats cuz it goes to the turbo inlet. lol.

Yeah...I put my stock back on. I had a Injen short ram. It sounded nice but after I put stock back on it felt a little quicker...most of all quiet. I may just start using it in the winter with the cold outside air...it seems to love cold air..Don't waist your money

Rep Power: 787 stock is actually a great intake. i've been through aem sri and K&N fipk and went back to stock each time. But now I'm keeping the K&N typhoon because it makes more torque than stock on average and isn't noisy until after 4k or if you stomp on it.
