bahahahahha i laugh at myself for even putting this in my car. i spent a total of $7 including the filter.


ok now, please no "maan just buy an intake." i just like making my own things instead of buying it already made. yes it works, yes i have no more torque, yes the high end is a bit stronger, yes its louder, no it wont melt, yes im insane, yes its ghetto. thats the point

i think thats pretty awesome that he can make and still mount and have it look just like a regular intake. no need to hate on the man for creating a diy.

Q: Why is a $300 intake any better? When it all comes down to it, it's just a filter on a peice of pipe.

A: That's a good question... .... .........

And here we have the proof of concept.

+10 for creativity and all that schtuff....

Good job, make it DIY: po'boy intake

 
Rep Power: 0

ill get right on that DIY.

you know whats cool though....

well this is probably with all SRI but the sound right above 4000RPM at WOT is like a sound between a growl and raspy. sounds like an actual VTEC system its wierd.

thanks for the compliments!!!

it pulls so much harder, i notice this cause it offsets the incredible loss of torque down low

would the pbc transfer heat as fast as a metal one? I would think that this would even deliver cooler air...well if it were cai

 
Rep Power: 326

for what hooter72mc said, i was thinking the same thing...

I'm willing to bet this would out perform AEM SRI's if you had a nice filter on there (a K&N one would be perfect). The whole thing is plastic which resists heat, much better than metal.

some company should make a cf intake for our cars...there is a co. that makes them for some of the european cars so why not ours. they are supposed to resist heat pretty good too.

yeah i noticed that my ractive filter is crap (haha got it for like $13, paid $3 difference after gift certificate). but K&N's are expensive. how cheap haveyou guys got them for?

revving the car in neutral sounds about stock cept a bit louder. but once im in gear and at WOT its raspy/growly as hell. loud too!!!
