Civic Si: Best Intake sound ever?

[SeverianB]

Any intakes you guys have heard that are as good or better than the stock Si one? (on any vehicle, not just the Si)

It was a nice day today, so I was finally able to put down my windows.
I hit the Vtec.... man, what a great sound!

I mean, it sounded good with the windows up, but with the windows down you can really hear all the work Honda put into tuning the stock intake. A work of art.

I love the sound of the turbo sucking in vast amounts of air at 22psi of boost on my modded DSM, and the sound of the blow-off valve between shifts... but it's crude and simple compared to the sounds my Si makes.

Honda employeed a bunch of engineers just for the sound.

I truly miss the sound of vtec now that I can't hear it anymore.

I've just installed the AEM CAI on my '08 FA5. It sounds really really good. It starts to swell around 4000, and when it hits vtec, it gives a deep rasp thats a definite head turner. Hehe, especially when riding downtown somewheres. Stop lights are great places to hit the two stage rev limit too! I've heard an Injen CAI, and it sounds similar as far as volume, but I think that the MR technology eliminates some of the "warm glow" that I would expect some people are looking for. I'm happy with the AEM. Just be aware if you get any of them. When you replace the breather hoses, note the smaller one that connects to a PLASTIC nipple for your air-assist valve for the injectors. It is plastic, costs about 90 bucks (75 if you google). Pull that hose off gently...Then expect to cut a small section of plastic in your fender shroud for the tube to tuck into the bumper. I fabricated a small bubble-type piece to fit over it, drilled some holes, and found some plastic snap-ins that look like the factory snaps. Tha's all my 2 Cents...Good luck, and slap that V-tec baby!

why because of hondata?

[Zeuceone]

i think turbo.

[Bandit03]

lol id take the sound of a turbo and bov over vtec anyday

As would most people! As far as NA goes, I have the Fujita SRI and thinks it sounds great. You can hear that mechanical "whistling" noise when the intake is sucking in air. I recently drove a stock Si at a used car dealership and it was utterly boring and quiet compared to the intakes!

[Firestrife]

I got my Fujita SRI with a apex'i filter thing sounds amazing. Yodums said it too the whistle and the growl is just great.

K&N Typhoon V2 sounds amazing in VTEC

[Prelude2Si]

believe it or not, the 5th gen preludes sound pretty darn good too....it's a fairly similar exhaust note (stock) the the si, although, the si is superior.
