K&N FIPK
 

Hey Everyone, Im Just Wondering If The K&n Fipk Is A Good Choice For An Intake, And Are The Gains The Best Of All The Intakes Available For Our Cars? What Is The Diff Between K&n Fipk And K&n Fipkii? Just Wondering, And Where Can I Get It For A Good Price? Worth The Buy? Or Just Go Stock?

I Dont Know The Answer To Your Question But I Do Know That Typing Like This Takes Up A Lot Of Time And Makes My Finger Tips Of My Left Hand Hurt

yea from what i hear the K&N is the best gain for our cars due to plastic pipe and good heat shield.

It's one of the highest at around 5whp peak.

There is only a FIPK II. I've got it. It doesn't give that great of gains, but it sounds damn cool.

It's a good buy if you don't mind spending the money. It was worth it IMO. I'm pretty sure only the k&n fipk II is available now...not sure where you'd find an fipk.

The server automatically does that when someone posts in ALL CAPS. So instead of coming out like "HEY GUYS I'M A NEWBIE PLZ HELP ME KTHX" it comes out as "Hey Guys I'm A Newbie Plz Help Me Kthx"

alright... i was checkin there website and it only shows up for the 2001 2002 ex models only. will it fit a 2003 lx?

it fits my 02 lx manual...

does anyone know where i can buy it

if step on the gas quickly u can make psst sounds >8)

yeah i 've had mine for a few days and it sounds awesome loud when you want it to be. decent gains but nothing spectacular.

5whp thats soo shitty for the money u pay

I got mine from www.planetperformance.com and picked it up for $184 cuz of a previous group buy....but i looked and it doesn't look like they have it for the 03. Even for the 02, it lists it for over $200 so...
Try some of the venders on this site like robearracing.com or parts411.com or something. They'll help you out and hook you up with a good deal. Or go to the group buy, for sale, or retail sale sub forums to find some venders from this site.

^yep. i say go stock unless $250+(?) is worth a cool sound to you...

Heh. I put the stock intake on again. Can't make up my mind. I say say stock if you drive below 4k rpms most of the time. You'll only get that 5whp at 6k rpms. So it's worth it if you always rev up when driving.

01-05 have the exact same engine and the same engine bay. There's nothing stopping someone with a 05 from buying a 01 i/h/e.

well i basically drivelike a psyco so ya its woth it, i have a aem cold air right now, sounds good feel the gains in the upper rpms...... worth it to switch over to the k&n, especially to improve my 1/4mile time.. i have i/h/e and wiring kit right now

I agree man
 

I agree exactly with this...I am back to stock...I had the K&n fipkII on for 1 week, it is mostly noise , little gains, like 4.6 hp gains up at 6000 rpm's ..I live in the city with lots of start, stop driving, I hardly ever get up to 6000, but I drive fast, redline is a 7, so 6 is pushin it , but if you drive like that, get one......you can also search for fipk II on here and get lots of reviews, and it is reviewed in the parts review area by a couple people, I still recommend you stay stock, put $220 into something else for your car...but it is up to you bro.

5whp if you have a DX/LX, but not for the EX.

It still a good intake system because of the material and you don't have to worry in rainy days. But Injen RD Series still one of the best systems in the market.

Good Luck!
:sweet:

i can get you the K&N typhoon short ram in either in blue, polished, red or silver for 175 plus tax and shipping

What you guys may not know is the stock inlet for air is the same size as the throttle body opening. This is a good thing and the reason why intakes don't give much gain. Honda really thought this one through.

wow... well i don't mind answering this even though its been covered.

i got my FIPK off ebay for 180 shipped. i think its worth it. sounds cool and helps just a tiny tiny bit IMO. check out the dyno

http://www.kandn.com/dynocharts/57-3513.jpg

gain is only like 4.8 hp

aem V2 is only 5.5

My area floods alot when it rains so i didnt want to get a cold air. think about that too

I 2nd that

nooo.. the sound alone makes it worth it. i looooove mine.

keep ur cold air bro... dont waste more money on bolt-ons save and save :) for turbo or swap... :cool:

im buying an FIPK II to save gas...

Good luck with that. It sure didn't save me gas. It prolly will stay the same, or lose a couple mpg.

it seriously didnt save you ANY gas? i thought it would... well tell me what you think of ur FIPK

I kinda like it except for noise. It's a better sound than most intakes, but still a bit loud. Still, 4hp is better than none. Yeah mpg stayed about the same tho with mostly the same driving habits.
