Default RSX INTAKE PIC INCASE ANYONES CURIOUS O.o

Heres pic. of my Injen warm air. Comes with heat shield i dont know if everyone has seen it but it looks real nice with that heat shield. Performance WOAH! it feels real nice i dont know why maybe our high compression but i can feel the diffrence, alot more than my warm air in my type R. Sounds mean too, once u hit vtec land, all the way through fourth i never left vtec. GOOD RATING FOR THIS!!

Why do you refer to it as "Warm Air"? Just curious... I know the obvious answer but is that what it is called?

I belive its called a warm air intake because it traps the warm air from going to your motor ? and the longer extension is a cold air intake which brings in cold air from the undrneath your car or what have you and cools down your motor? something along those lines

Warm air or short ram intake is what its called so yeah

1) Is that dyno for real? only with intake? that's pretty kick-***

2) On a RSX-S, is 157whp typical? For a "200hp" car, 157whp is pretty pathetic. Sounds like the same inflated hp BS that the new SE-R claimed

if number 1 is true,

Not inflated BS because the 200HP is not to the wheels.

Well, if you will notice in what I posted, I specifically denoted the 157 as WHP and the 200 as HP. So, I think I know what the difference is. And yes, if a car is claiming 200HP, IE at the crank, but is only making 157WHP, IE at the wheels, I'd say a 43HP loss is quite a lot. Look at some other HP vs. WHP numbers (such as the GSR) and you'll see what I mean. Then tell me you don't think some of these numbers are inflated a bit.

Wats up man.... i paid 160 for it but the shops try to slang it for 185-200 .... if u get 180 thats good. Yeah i dont know about those charts 157 to the wheel compared to 200 at the crank is a big diffrence! woah i dont think thats true but whatever? I believe the ITR has 195 to the crank and 173 to the wheel as i recall when i had mine..... i believe it was said that 10% of the horespower or something is lost when doing the hp measurement to the flywheel. so 10% of 200 is 20? id figure its around 180hp to the wheel. thanks thats my 2 cents

Have you got a URL to their site? Or an online shop? Also, did you do the fit yourself or was it done at a shop? And if you did it yourself - what about all the O2 meters and stuff? Take much time?

I call BS on this I've seen so many dyno and their all over the place nobody test consistently temps are all off etc.... Some are putting the fan on top of the filter.

BTW a RSX-S makes more than 157 as a baseline.

to many variations of the same setup.
