Default Best Intake?

I know there are numerous threads and post about intakes, but ill ask again. I have a modded B18C1 (GSR) swap in my 1993 EH3, and at the moment, I am using a Password JDM "Boost Chamber" carbon fiber intake and filter. The unfortunate thing is, that it is the DC2 intake for teggy. I am in need of a intake that will keep the same power, but is made for myEH3 chassis! There are a couple of reasons for this. Using the DC2 intake I no longer can use a front upper tie bar, this is due to fact intake does not sit low enough in engine Bay to accommodate one. So if anyone has any suggestions as of what I can buy to replace my intake, with one that will allow for a upper tie bar, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Nothing is going to do much, I would just rock a stock one.

You need a cover for your t-belt. I've seen it happen numerous times. People swear it's all cool to run like that, then BAM! Fricken t-belt slips or snaps. One guy dropped a bolt in there and belt half the valves.

But yea, intakes are like spark plugs. You can buy a Integra ls, rs, gs intake on eBay for $25 and cut 1-2 pipes and you have your own custom intake and it fits around anything. The filter is garbage, so buy a K&N or AEM filter to go with it.

Intakes are not really worth spending money on. Do like they say get some pipe and a AEM filter.

Any intake $100-$300 are going to be the same. There are a few $300+ that can make you a little more power, but at that point you are better saving that $300+ for something that will actually make some power instead of just shifting your peak around
