perhaps it was a deal that they were running.

My buddy purchased the whole kit for the 240...

What does it matter?! Even at $240 for JUST the intake, its an amazing deal. Hand laid carbon fiber (or kevlar)

Start complaining about paying $250 for a mandrel bent metal tube with a filter at the end. That **** should be like $50.

(we dont know yet) But if the power gains are the same that price does matter.... looks is 2nd to power.

bro2snakeaterblk08 · 08-05-2009, 02:19 PM

Its impossible for it not to make more power then stock. It has less restriction then the stock box which = to more power. How much power depends on your other supporting mods and how much your ECU likes you.

Tuning will yield awesome gain.

bro2snakeaterblk08 · 08-05-2009, 02:22 PM

Im sick of all this talk about power gains.

You have 2 options.

A: you run a CAI and only see the tip of it or

B: you use this intake and have your friends drool all over it when they see it.

Your choice. If it makes the same power figures as a CAI does, it will still out perform the CAI in the throttle response department. which is what you need most when daily driving, unless you're always bouncing off redline in which case a CAI would suit your needs

thats an opinion, imo it looks terrible. but if it makes decent power gains than that out weights the strang look of the intake.

bro2snakeaterblk08 · 08-05-2009, 02:33 PM

^thats your opinion. Lets sit tight and wait for more info.

tim711 · 08-05-2009, 02:38 PM

whats the differences in the battery? less amps and cranking power? I live in Canada and I am concerned about the replacement battery being powerful enough to crank the engine in severe cold weather.

quickfit · 08-05-2009, 02:41 PM

its actually a motorcycle battery....
you might notice a difference in very cold weather. i noticed a slight difference in cold northeast weather on my fit.

***Topplayer*** · 08-05-2009, 02:48 PM

i just hope the battery can handle my 2 amps. if not ill buy a cap...

it probly wont. i got significant light dimming using a 400 watt kicker amp.

***Topplayer*** · 08-05-2009, 02:53 PM

thats hurt

do you think a 2f cap would be enough to solve that for me?

tccosi · 08-05-2009, 03:08 PM

how many wattS

***Topplayer*** · 08-05-2009, 03:18 PM

pdx 6 600w and a pdx 5 75w * 4 + 300w (1200w total)
