Sorry to say, no one is going to buy your pepboys rice isle intake based on what your butt feels on the freeway.

Prove it on a dyno, until then I leave you with my favorite quote

nice............

lol ^^, you know I remember my first car, it was crap i know but I did cheep up grades to. I think the best one was a dryer vent connected to the intake to make a cold air intake. I don't think it did anything though but it looked cool.

Wish I could find the forum again, but a kid made a turbo out of a hair dryer. Here's a funny page I came across. Look at the last picture

i totally understand that no one will buy it unless i have dyno sheets to prove any gains but please dont flame me because i am trying my best to get dyno time. this is a totally new design of intake for the r18. i think it is actually better design then all of the big companies that have millions of dollars to design one.just because i decided to put a filter on there that i got from autozone doesnt mean the whole entire intake is from autozone. in fact 95% of this intake is from oem parts. my problem is that i dont have access to a dyno to prove anything. stop being a ignorant flamer and actually try to contribute to the community.

Like they saying went when I was in HS in 94, "go big or go home."

How is "trying your best to get dyno time" related to "no money for dyno?"

People who make intakes like you did without R&D using dyno and a flow bench 9 times out of 10 too broke or too cheap to spend money on real parts. And by example I am referring to XFactorwrx's intake.

My opinion on the whole thing is performance minded buyers who buy the R18 civic are usually the people who didn't have in their budget to get the Si and make all kinds of excuses except the real one why they didn't get it. Seriously I have seen many people say "well I'll just do a motor swap," or "I'll make it faster than an Si," "or I'll just do a conversion." These people are too impatient to wait to get what they really want and nickel and dime their power (in the mean time power) until they get serious. It's really laughable.

Answer this question to yourself seriously.

"Why did I do this modification instead of buying a proven part?"

[divinebarrel]

id rather have an ebay intake over that

[iknowmysh1t]

ok if i dyno this thing and it makes more then all of the above then what?

what the hell are you talking about? i just got a headache from reading this. maybe proper english would help if you actually finished h.s.

[iknowmysh1t]

btw i don't know why people are flaming this intake. this is just a solution to all the crap that has come out from big name companies. those intakes will set a cel off on your car before you actually get any gains. i was just trying to help out our fellow r18 owners.

[iknowmysh1t]

for the ones that actually gave me props for doing this, thanks because i actually did put a lot of time and effort into this. instead of buying some shit that everyone else has i decided to try to make a effort and improve on what is already out there.

[andywho]

props for doing something different

His post was very clear and made perfect sense. Read it again. If you don't get it, read it again. If still not go, run face first into a wall. (kidding of course)

You're saying you don't throw a CEL? Why are you still running the rest of the stock intake :x?

i am not running the rest of the stock intake. the resonator is removed. it was taken out to route the oem snorkel from the stock resonator to bring in cold air to the box. i did notice a big difference running with and without the cover and snorkel.
