Which aftermarket intake sytem do you have?

[bmike818]

Wanted to poll the members to see which manufacturer is the most popular.

We are just pollingthe manufacturers, if you would like please post the specific model you have.

[matt_2036]

None of the above. Just get a K&N drop in filter. Your wont get anymore HP out of any of the others!

[spitalul2bad]

Maybe for the HR engine Matt. With the DE I think aftermarket CAI is better.

[ZMEDIC13]

Stillen Dual Long Tube intake

good pole, but i believe nismo to be the most popular with Injen a close second when all is said and done.... Nismo for warranty reasons. Injen because it is the best. JWT - FTW of quick add ons vs drop in filter. *IMO*

Nismo can actually void your warranty because it's R-tune. I got it because I got fooled into thinking that it actually adds 5.5 hp to the rear, and because it was on sale for $180.00. Rain + CAI is not good so I'm back with my k&n drop-in for the mean time.

injen here.

injen dual cia

injen is the best for the HR it is the only real cai for the HR that actually will see gains.

[matt_2036]

NO DE too. It keeps the hot engine air our better than open air filiment. Put a varis CF air duct in front of it and your all set. Looks cool too!!!

injen dual cia

you didn't vote....

The nismo intake comes with a piece that stops water from getting into your engine bay, I think you'd pretty much have to submerge your filter to get rain into there.

Cold Air intakes have shown to actually lose some low end torque on the DE and are only beneficial if you are looking for top end power. Stillen , JWT or an 06 air box for DEs are best , HRs are a different beast altogether.

Ingen!!

EDIT-this thread has been nice and peaceful...edited my post to keep it that way

Actually most CAI's will add hp and tq over the whole powerband. But they do tend to peak at higher rpms. You will not loose power from installing a CAI.

sadly, some parts of the freeway and roads here get enough water to submerge the filter, even then the air bypass it suppose to prevent hydrolock, but i will not risk it. San diego roads (at least most that I go through) aren't built for heavy rain, therefore lack proper storm drainage.

I got the STILLEN since I was able to get one used from someone who had to sell his car. I was going to get NISMO or AEM(same thing) but who can argue when you can get a used one in good condition for cheaper than a new one, especially since he hadn't had it on for very long. I like the airboxes and I think that if I were to install the air ducts it would help out even more. I will admit that I got it more for looks than function since I read so many threads about minimal performance with CAI's on the HR, plus I intend to do the headers, HFC's and TD exhaust so free flowing intake isn't a bad thing.

Ahh, yeah. You have a legitimate reason then. I lived in Cali for a year and the highways there don't drain water at all. So a decent rain comes along and suddenly you've got huge standing puddles on the highway.

You could always try the JWT popcharger and just keep it up higher instead of extending down to where the water could get to it.

[NSRsheets]

Was going to get the ingen intake, but going to probably get the Nismo.
