Looking to purchase an intake system for the S, I have narrowed it down to the K&N system. Reasons are:
-doesn't go down below the lights(I heard hydro locking was common on our cars)
-saw that dyno shows better hp gains
-a tad bit cheaper NEW
-from what I have researched its louder as well

Please feel free to comment and let me know if this is a reasonable choice!

Thanks,

I personally went with this one.

k&n is good I have one of the first modles but sick of the filtr on a stick look so I'm going back to stock with a gutted box spoon snorkle and k&n filter.

 

Cold air is better. With the right precautions, hydrolocking is not a concern. I drive in the rain with my top down.

i purposely rigged my cold air intake to expose the filter outside of the bumper, and then fabbed up a hairdryer to a 12v source and a switch to heat the piping

hot air FTW

the filter being outside the bumper comes into play on those rainy days when you can catch a nice puddle....sucking that up cleans out your IM, combustion chamber, and oil better than seafoam

yes, it also helps with your muffler bearings and gives a bit more life to your VTACK fluid. I like to take out the spark plugs and pour water straight in, it makes for a better cleaning experience

OT:
I have heard the K&N is very good, and isnt the most expensive!

you right, thanks for showing me the JDM way of engine upkeep!

 

I just take sh*ts in peoples gas tanks

 

What part was bull? The cold air or the top down? It's usually not intentional but I drive with my top down almost all the time and sometimes, it rains in Seattle. At freeway speed you can stay dry. As for hydrolock, I've covered the drip holes and fitted a shield over the filter element. The only way for water to enter is up, through my undertray, against gravity. I use to worry, but after 5 years in Seattle through months and months of rain, no more worries. I just stay out of puddles. and oh yeah

 

cool thanks guys... from what i have researched the k&n dyno's for more power, not much but like 3.5hp is enough for me...even though its not the best looking
