The real question is... Why are we still getting excited over an intake? We have several to chose from already, all of which perform pretty close to identical to the other and none of which provides significant gains over stock. I'll start getting excited when I see some real mods hit the 2IS scene.

well its the first intake that has reputation for quality and gains. yea a supercharger or turbo would be nice but our engine compartment is so compact, im not sure one could fit? or maybe headers for the 350

Im not a big fan of intakes, but i would say the fujita seems to have better quality clamps and hardware as opposed to the pepboys style hose clamps that alot of other intakes come with. Not that makes a difference on the dyno.......
Im still considering a JoeZ midpipe since it does actually help replacing the soft rubber hose, i have always done it. both my v6 accord and my Tc had metal mid pipes, and where i live (fresno) during the summer it can get pretty hot anything that helps combat heatsoak is alright in my book.

Truthfully, I have not seen the finished product or my car in over 3 months. The car went to SEMA and was in the Seibon booth. I have yet to see the dyno numbers and what dyno that it was done on but the figure that was told to me was around 19hp to the wheels from what I was told (with the exhaust also). That seems VERY high to me since I have seen many other dynos with other intakes in the 2-7hp range. Hopefully it is correct because that would be great from an intake and exhaust! I am hoping to get my car back today so I will shoot some pics and post them as soon as I have it back.
hey just wondering, does the injen intake have a heatshield? or is it enclosed like the Powerflow series?

I can't tell you what the exhaust is yet since it is not out and just a prototype. All I can tell you is that my Tanabe is up for sale now that I have this one....
Yeah, 19 seems high to me also, that is why I wanted to see how the dyno printout reads. I will let you know hopefully later today.....

This seems like as good of a place as any to ask some general questions about intake mods without creating a new thread so everyone can laugh at my ignorance...
Do intakes have an audible effect when the engine is running, similar to exhausts?
Also, are there any power/torque sacrfices at lower RPMs, again, similar to some exhausts?
I guess that's all I can think of for now. 'Preciate the help.
