I've searched through out the forums but nothing really came up.. i was wondering if this intake was worth buying for $160 are there any better alternatives? is this good for the price that it is selling for?

 

bump for the same question

 

i have it on my EG (not EK) good **** loud as fukk... cant wait to use it with my lsvtec.. i think its worth getting.. i mean its only 160$ and its shortram so u dont have to worry about those puddles and makes good power

Its a great intake, makes good numbers on the dyno, and is comparable to the J's racing intake for much less money. :-)

 

its a great intake you can get some like that on ebay but i doubt they perform or look as good as the passwordjdm

 

Get the J's racing knock-off intake. Looks the same and will have the same power output. $70 shipped the last time I checked.

definately, I think it comes in red blue and umm.. yellow.

Same design, just not made out of CF, i think the numbers are the same pretty much too. I'd rather save money than have a pretty intake that no one will ever see.

 

SCO has it for $100 shipped. Mummafuckasummumabe0tch3s raised the price from $70 shipped when I bought it over a year ago.

 

check the sig

it comes with nozzle for the valve cover vent and an insert for the IATS. im pretty sure the password edition doesnt have it. amazing quality.

btw memory fab has excellent customer service. gl

 

no guarentees on this, but the password one (by looking at pics) seems to be cf overlaid on fiberglass, where as the j's one seems to be stright up cf. keep in mind this is only from the pics on passwords website. not sure if you care either...

 

just installed a password jdm carbon fiber intake last week and no problems so far. nice little increase on the mpg and a few horses more in the high end. i would definintely recommend it it's not too loud, only at the VTEC crossover; although there is a constant hiss that comes from it.

 

any other brand out there that would give me my moneys worth over a knock off from password jdm?

Most likely i'll get the password jdm intake though..

I don't know how heavy the Password JDM intake is, but my J's Racing intake is featherlight

yah thats why i said is there anything else better/real thats worth my moneys worth over that j's racing knockoff password jdm intake..

 

 

The PWJDM intake, is pretty light.
And it does seem to be cf overlaid on fiberglass

 

Would the type of engine have any role in the gains or what not? If i stick that on a stock d16y7 would i still get good gains?

 

i don't think its possible to stick it on a Y7 unless you have something like a Y8/Z6 manifold. the Y7 throttlebody faces upwards. i think it needs a sidemounted throttlebody.

buy this one and just repaint it black or something, or strip the paint that is on it. Underneath the hidious colors that they put on it, it is black

 

It looks and sounds good for the money but that carbon fiber look is going to get woren down over time.

 

memoryfab.com has one similar in carbon fiber for 150
