hello everyone.
just wondering have you ever heard of spyder air intakes? they are about $70 bucks and i was considering of buying one.. but the other thing is that it has no picture..

so i wanted to know if any of you guys have it on your car.. is it an okay air filter or what?

and if it helps i drive a 2002 honda civic lx coupe 5 spd.. ha and i love it

the only thing i can say is you get wat you pay for.. if your on a budget get an sri.. most people go with aem, injen, and fujita. hope it helps

 

It's your typical eBay brand cold air intake. The filtering element is garbage, and since there's really no benefit to buying bolt-on's with a D17, it's pretty much just a general waste of $70+ (including a decent filtering element, even more).

 

yeah.. but i saw this on a website, called autopartswarehouse

unless ebay puts it on there? hah

Well, AutoPartsWarehouse deals with Chinese bulk manufacturers, so they can save money when they sell parts. It's the same with companies distributing parts on eBay.

 

thanks toyomatt, that was very informative.

i guess ill save up for a better cold air intake haha

If you're trying to go for performance, there's really no need for it, just so you know.

 

just buy a k&n drop in filter and call it a day. trust me, youll save alot of money that way.

 

get the cheapest intake sri cai what ever and get a filter from a autoparts store like ame or a k&N if you wanna splurge.
i got a orange one made by....phbt i dunno but its big and orange and it dosent need oil and you can rinse it clean. since nothing really gives you power gains all you really need is the piping i got mine with the car "it wasnt installed" threw the filter it came with out and got a better one i think it was 12 bucks on ebay.
Theres absolutely no reason to spend any more then 20 bucks on intake piping all that fujita crap and aem ame what ever is just a waste. On another car itd be worth it but not this little bastard. If you have one of these whatever intakes that i mentioned and you paid full price please dont be insulted. but i dont think the quality of intake piping is a issue with....well pipes. maybe maf sensor placement is better.
