Not sure what intake to buy, what one do you guys think is the best? thanks.

 

the tube design one make the most power... (aem, injen, 4ig)

the mugen, spoon and j's intakes are pretty much just extensions to bring/channel in colder air from the behind the bumper but doesnt' really add to much...

 

Ive seen the AEM and INJEN intakes, both nice pieces and great mid to top end power over stock

 

i'd go with comptech. had it and loved it. don't know if it makes the most power but the quality is the best.

i agree the quality of the comptech intake is great.. and it even comes with that carbon fiber box thingie.. it's sweet..... but no extra power..

 

Yeah, i just couldnt see spending hundreds on a part that adds nothing (pretty much) when its built to be a performance piece...i dunno, just doesnt seem worth it.

 

save money...

... then get ITB's

 

Why get an aftermarket intake?

The stock unit is already a cone design and has excellent heatshielding.

Remove the factory baffling and voila! aftermarket intake sound, no money spent, and no worries about water logging.

Aftermarket intake = waste of money

 

i never dynoed it, but comptech claimed it added a decent amount of hp. regardless to me though, the car felt way better, had awesome throttle response, and sounded unholy Really did feel quite a bit quicker.

edit: this was combined with the comptech header installed at the same time.

I had Injen on my type r it was awsome with just an intake I went 14.2 and I had a AEM on my S for a little bit with that I went 13.7...but its all up to you

 

I was thinking of selling my PRM and getting the K&N intake. Has anyone tried it?

 

I havent seen an intake proven to give more than 5 hp. An intake for a S is mainly for looks and sound. Stick the PRM.

 

I agree, but the PRM has been known to lose power, and Im just kinda bored with it.

you have plenty of choices, depends on how much you wanna spend

AEM, Competch = 350 or less
Mugen, J's Racing = 1k+

I had the Comptech. I would go AEM but Im worried about hydrolocking.

Anyone tried the K&N?

 

why would you not want the comptech? hell of a lot better than the aem IMO.

Just got kinda bored with it. And it wouldn't stop rattling, that drove me nuts.

 

what was the cause? i never had that problem. maybe a bad bracket or something?

Some of the earlier models had some fitment issues. Even though the plastic box was moulded all the same, there were some inconsistencies in how they were fitted under the hood. The rattles can be curable, but it just takes a bit of detective work and proper placement of cushioning or alternative bracing. Mine no longer rattles and holds up fine. But I have replaced a hose and some screws over time.
