im wandering what every1 think about the intercool intake system by r1. i want to buy it but b/c it will probably give the most hp, but then again it might get rain in the camber from crappy driving. does any1 know anything about it.

 

if you are talking about the wanna be intecooler one, i think they are gay go AEM, Injen, or Comptech....

Yea go with any of those that he listed. Think about it cold air intake filters get pretty nasty after using them ahwile (varies where you live) and theyre somewhat protected by the fender. But those things are right in front of the car where all the dirt and water and rocks and etc goes. With all that crap on there its not gonna breath very well at all, I think theyre more for show I would save the money of having to keep replacing the filter every month and use it for a good cai.

 

what do you guys think is the best intake, im thinking the new aem v2 system. is it even out yet where can i get it?

 

 

i would say the new AEM, older style aem, Injen, or the Comptech, its your call....

 

man that the best intercool intake i ever seen in my life, can you make me one and put it on my car........lol

 

Their ricey. I wouldn't get one. Also, the filter element is covered in plastic, so it doesnt suck up all the crap listed above. So, your not getting any "ram air" effect, so its just for lookes, ie- rice. Go go for any of the others listed.
gmoore

 

dur (danish)

 

i like injen the best, but there are sooooooooo many posts about which intake you should consider. stay away from the wanna be intercooler's

 

They are horrible.

 

I don't think its worth the money. Better of getting a regular intake AEM.

 

AEM or Injen...listen to these HT guys..they know whats best..

 

or save up for the real intercooler and a snail shell y0

 

This is the newest one i just picked up at Pepboys... I think it cost like 79$???
HAHAHA... For real now- just get anything coldair.

 

I like that cold air intake pictured above.... thinkin about one hehehe

 

AEM

 

The rice is strong in this one.

A fake intercooler is really a stupid idea for many reasons. The intake would flow worse because of the bends. People would think you had a turbo and try to race you, only to find out your car is slow. People might jack your car because they think it's turbo.

 

Although it's not practical for daily driving, the ironic thing is that it makes more power than your traditional AEM or Injen. (yes, it's been dyno tested before) You guys are dismissing it just because it's "rice".

 

bs.

 

stay stock and save up for turbo

 

If you guys are willing to pitch in money for an AEM vs. Injen vs. FMIS comparison test or whatever, i'm game

 

there was a guy i knew who had installed water-to-air intercooler between the trottle and the ram intake...dunno if it made any difference cuz there's no dyno to back it up

 

LOL. He obviously hasn't been around Honda-tech too long.
