Rep Power: 337 gearbox hooked me up for 125 shipped cause i buy from him preferably. and yea our stock box is effin huge and restrictive. im hoping ill get better mileage. i get over 40 in the city anyway so it would be great for more. and it will do something for my car. ive asked others with intakes that have autos and they said they have felt a difference. so i know i will cause i drive a stick. itll be fun. im still stoked. im doing all these things slowly to build this thing. i think the next thing will be a cam gear...and then the cam with a a/f controller

Rep Power: 812 the head or the header? the head is port/polish valves and milled (200psi instead of 135 is very bad for a turbo setup but good for na). So ya the compression is high I have to warn you. If you were talking about the header, the kamikaze will also fit an EX and should be off when the weather gets warm again next summer.

Rep Power: 337 ok it took me about 2 hours to take the stock one out, put the new one in and checked everything a ridiculous amount of times over.
this is the intake in my room.
this one is where the first 2 bolts need to be unscrewed. they come out with the washers. 10mm. all of them except the battery were 10mm.
this is after the inlet is out, again the mount points and the rubber thing should come out with it, just shimmy it off.
this is the resonator, it was a bitch. red arrows are the bolts to undo. after you loosen them take them out but DON'T try to take the resonator off yet.
this is the last part the connects to the ITB. red arrow is AIR SENSOR. you will need that in a minute. the PINK arrow is the ITB clamp. its right beside the air sensor as you can see but its hidden under this big black box. flat head screw driver will loosen it. after the 2 bolts to loosen the box you can remove it.
this is with the box off of the ITB. notice that i temporarily unscrewed the cruise control line moved it up to have space to work with. made things easier. 8mm socket needed for those.
this green thing is what took the longest, i was about to kill it!!! i was pissed. flathead screwdriver under the tab and twist up. then take your finger and lift the tab up, then pull. this is the resonator mount. it was a bitch! be patient like me. now you can take the resonator out.
this is with the intake isntalled and all things tightened. RED arrows are where i tightened stuff included with kit, ORANGE arrows are the bolts for the cruise control wires.
ok i took it for a test drive. this thing is LOUD. at about 3k you can notice it. i did the right thing and disconnected my battery so the a/f parameters will have to reset. i redlined it and now feel stupid cause i bet it sucked like 2x more gas than normal. its nice, WOT you can hear the intake take over, and the motor sounds different. way different. as for the "feeling of hp" idk yet. i will wait till my fuel parameters are set again so i can enjoy my 40mgp. but i will update. i did feel some difference. its nice. pulls better. but i will attribute that to the cold air outside also.

Sweeet DIY. I really could have used that when I was about to mine on. The instructions were like..
1) Take off stock intake.
2) Put new intake on.
3) Rev engine and hear the difference.
I'm jk. I had nothing to work with.
Awesome job dude. You like the sound better?

Rep Power: 337 yea i was just kidding, no offense meant sick cycle. my car is not slow! ah!..every car has its advantages. mine likes to take turns better than alot of other cars. and the intake is sweet sounding. at WOT its sexy as ****. my gf pissed me off though. i called her and told her i was done and told her it was loud at WOT and she called it ricey. GDFS!! anyway i told her it wasn't. im pleased. and gearbox uses his car as a tester on PURPOSE! i think lol. i really think the sound is the best part.
