there are some aftermarket companies in japan that make similar intakes suposedly its so there is always ample air in the intake when you jump on the gas to help with throtle response. First time I've seen a chrome one though

Looks like an ARC knock-off of some sort. Looks cheap.

Like any Honda Civic intake tube looks expensive? Intakes either look cheap or they look overpriced. I'll take cheap for $15 on eBay, thanks, and I'll make the same amount of power as your $500 unit

focuz is a decent brand. Ive delt with them a few times. There customer service is pretty good 2. The prices are mid range. There intakes and header(s) are the best things they make imo.

They all do the SAME thing, only allow so much air into you're 4cyl. Just because you have a aem doesn't mean you gonna get 15 hp like a ****** v8 or some ****, so you're better off savin some money for something basic and decent looking. Not some high priced **** that you're gonna get and put in you're car and go, "oh well that made hardly any difference, i should have spent my money on a regular intake and use the rest on a upgraded throttle body or something" duh.
