HondaFREAK · 09-29-2007, 02:42 AM

albanz35 · 09-29-2007, 04:06 PM

they say it doesn't fit and don't have one that does but i see alot of people with intakes in an auto and i just hope it fits or im going to freak on the company for saying it would fit then it won't fit

Well to answer a question a while back about Hidrolock I called up Ingen about their Hidrolock shield and they say that they tested it by throwing a 5gl. Bucket at it and it had no effect. And for the other question about cutting out a hole in your wheel well, don’t I herd that from all the water that your tire tries to disperse is too much for the Filter to handle. Hope this post helps.

nighthawk08si · 11-02-2007, 02:02 PM

has anyone bought any intakes off ebay sri or cai? were they decent? becuz i think spending 240 bucks on an intake is a waste money. if i buy a ebay intake i will put on aem or k&n filter.

I made 9 whp with mine...definitely NOT a waste of money

240 bucks on a 3 foot spoiler is a waste of money

nighthawk08si · 11-04-2007, 02:23 PM

3 ft spoiler FTL!!! anyways what intake do u have then?

***APupNamedSmokey*** · 11-07-2007, 10:06 AM

I've gone on procivic.com and they have the AEM Dryflow Filter at 3, 2.5, 2 inches. How do I know which one to get? I've also found a bypass valve on kingmotorsport.com and they do the same thing (different sizes). Oh yeah it rains alot in Miami therefore I need that bypass valve.

$300 on a X intake is a waste of money, considering you can make one for $125. Not saying you have one, just adding to the comment

AEM REPLACED MY CAI with the NEW MODEL!!!! TO FIX THE CEL !!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is a bit late, but ironically I started reading these threads AFTER I installed my Fujita F5 SRI last night (11.29.07) on my '07 Si Sedan. No CEL, no hesitation, great sound, increased power (yes, my ever-skeptic mind has been won over), etc. I can see why it's rated so highly. Great thing it's cold outside in Southwestern PA these days - it helps with that whole heat soak thing, but it's better than the hydro-lock worry with CAIs, imho. It rains too much in Pittsburgh. LOL

X intake > Fujita

BTRobertson · 12-02-2007, 10:33 AM

Well, I never said it was the best, I'm simply saying that I see a huge gain with a $200.00 investment. What's the X intake anyway? Never heard of it, but if it's $300+, I would've never gone with it anyway unless the gain was $100 better in value, which I doubt it is.

slesholdofthreep · 12-02-2007, 10:48 AM

Its not just about hp. It will improve afr.

BTRobertson · 12-02-2007, 11:00 AM

AFR is...?

JCool · 12-02-2007, 02:00 PM

slesholdofthreep · 12-02-2007, 02:57 PM

Air Fuel Ratio

yes people seem to forget this, this is what separates it from other intakes, X made this intake to tune our cars for the best possible AFR and with that the HP and torque will increase dramatically
