What kind of intake are you guys running in your S2K???

i DID search and didnt help much at all.

i dont own a S2K so i dont know much information on them

and i want to help my friend with a S2K getting a intake..but i dont know which one's good.

AEM makes one for S2k??
Anyone running comptech intake?? those carbon fiber ones.. .they look sweet.

Thx

 

i saw some guy at the tracks running nitrous wiht an AEM polished air induction system

 

Helped my friend install his AEM CAI on his S2k. Sounds good but I don't know about the power gains. He says he feels a bit up top and we never dynoed it stock. Fit and finish is good but the install took awhile since we had to cut the splash guard and do some other modifications.

 

best intake you can buy for your s is the spoon airduct

 

AEM is hard to install eH? ....

no body knows about comptech ones?? they look great .

 

I use SPOON air filter and SPOON carbon air duct.

AEM = Good power gains but TB response sucks.

Spoon filter+duct = good TB response.

Mugen = very good TB response.

 

I'm running stock:

 

we have the comptech carbon fiber air intake coupled with the comptech header and the car feels much better above 6k, even below to me it feels a little livelier, but i have no real numbers to publish. when i get my digital camera back i will post pics. Personally i think the fit and finish of aem intakes is sort of cheap. oh yeah did i mention this is my moms daily driver

 

I am running the PRM intake, looks goofy, but gains are good..... link below

so where is the filter on that bad boy? in the carbon fiber chamber thing?

 

i have a injen race division cai on mine. i think it is one of the best looking and i have noticed some improvement, especially in the midrange.

 

I have a modified version of the AEM, it's not difficult to install but it does require a little bit of cutting and reruting of the vaccum lines like all intakes. Plus The filter is very low in the car one good puddle and you will learn how much a f20c shortblock costs.

Personally if you have the money I like the Mugen one myself, I just can't spend 1500 bucks on a intake.

Best bet is the comptech in my book, you get the sound and have little to no chance of water injestion as the filter is mounted so high, I don't think its a real carbon intake it is just a molded piece with a carbon sticker if I remember it correctly.

If you want to keep the car stock then simply get the spoon/AUS intake extention. Personally I like the AUS as it is paintable and cheaper and works just as well, use the K$N internals as the spoon filter is crazy expensive as I remember.

Now if your in california your staraight out of luck, I did a search of the CARB eo# database and only 1 intake shows up as legal as of last week. And that is the DC sports intake, still no avaliablity date as of there website. Now if CARB would get off there butts and grant the exclusion paperwork to a few decent sized manufactors then none of this would be a problem.

 

i'm running a polished aem cai but i'm thinking of selling it for spoon cf air duct to match all the other engine dress up components i have. my only complaint about the aem is that it was a tight sqeeze with the spoon strut bar. its a tight sqeeze so i had to put a small piece of sponge in between the two so that they don't rub.

 

yup...the filter is cone filter inside the cf chamber....with the wide end of the cone twoards the opening, and the pointy end of the cone closer to the throttle body/intake mainfold

 

Does this count?



It unfortunately was harder to install than the AEM, but I can feel a difference: Honest!

 

NO! things that make spooling noises do not count

How about this one?



J/K, I have had the AEM and Injen and have found that I liked the Injen better due to its one piece design. But I like the latest one best!

 

beautiful cars
