Um? I'm not going to agree with someone when they decide to waste their money. They're cheaper alternitives that will give you same result.

Re: (JDM-EJ1)
not all intakes make the same power, but on a stock motor you're talking maybe a 2 whp difference, and the more expensive one isn't necessarily the best.

Could you try and show me proof of this? Andy posted the picture of the Password intake vs a stock intake. Obviously the aftermarket intake is going to be better.
Does anyone have a dynochart of an EBay intake vs an AEM/Injen/etc?

So a stock intake obviously makes less power, but all aftermarket intakes make the same power??? How do you figure that?
I was saying that the difference is marginal, but there is a difference. How about a plastic (iceman) intake vs a metal one? One gets warmer than the other. How about the number of bends and angle of the bends? That affects where your peak power is on the rpm band.

If you can prove this to me (dynocharts) I'll buy it. But until then, IMO all after market intakes will yield the same results.

I have only bought one intake for my car, because i agree that its a waste to put too much $ into your intake, so I don't have comparison dynos. I don't really care if you buy it or not, as long as you put that IMO before your statements when you tell other people all about intakes. BTW, by your logic all aftermarket headers would yeild the same power too. Because diameter and shape apparently has no effect on air flow velocity.

Re: What intake are you guys running your civic/sol? (thirst)
whats going on every one?
well the first intake i ever had was a prm intake i loved it.. just to tell you it was made out of rubber witch they do not make intake out of. now i am running an aem cold air intake with the new motor i had put in years ago..
now after running both prm and aem intake, i am going to go back to a prm or try the password jdm intake and i also have been looking at an injen intake too. witch one i choose ill be happy with and it is going to be my last cause it is a waste of money to keep buyinjg intakefrom diffrent companys...

Re: (JDM-EJ1)
intake doesnt do much power-wise, it just makes you fell like christopher reeds walking when you hit vtec because you can actually hear it. oh sorry, IMO that is.

You're a moron. Post something worth while or keep your ******* mouth shut. I'm still curious to see if anyone has dynocharts of an EBay intake and a name brand intake being compared. Anyone?

Again, I'm gonna go with bling status. Despite the Mugen intake does use the stock setup (filter enclosed within a box) as does the Comptech Icebox setup. I can't see this being any different than any other intake.

Now I am not going to take one side or the other here so I will provide one link for each side. (These are all I could find)
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1194128
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=514964
The second link is a few years old so the pics seemed to have been lost but I think it should provide an idea of whats going on anyway.
Now that you all can have a look I am going to give my conclusion. (Yes this is IMO) I think it comes down to the individual car/engine with its given mods, condition of the engine, surrounding conditions and dyno as to which would be best. So IMO there is not a universal "best" intake.

I wish the second link still had the pictures up. All and all, this (as with anything in life) boils down to personal choice. Is an hundered or more dollars worth a few extra whp? IMO, it isn't. But from that second link it does show that the J's did do better than the stock setup, and the AEM.
However, like EJ8 says. It will differ on a number of levels, so I wouldn't assume that J's is better overall.

Yeah my friend has one on his Si and after pushing the car, the chamber never gets hot at all, it stays cool...

Re: (JDM-EJ1)
Its true! I have the Power Chamber Intake from Password as well & its on my b16a motor stock and I did feel a baby difference and not just noise. It accelerated better and the chamber like said above me does not get hot. I can touch it after taking a 6 hour road trip and it will be a tad bit warmer but not hot. Best intake I ever invested my money in

Re: (IHateJDM)
People. Think about it like this. You have a coke with a straw. You fill your mouth full of cold coke. Switching to a bigger straw isn't going to make the coke any colder nor will it allow you to hold more in your mouth. If this doesn't make sense to you let me know and I will further explain.
