^this is the reason why greddy is bankrupt. go AEM. or take off the top of the airbox and remove the resonator

ok you guys are taking too personal...i aint boostin so i dnt give fuck a greddy product, aint a damn greddy product on my car...anyways go ARC super induction??

correction, TRUST, Greddy's mother company based in Japan filed for bankruptcy not Greddy which is the US branch company. And filing for bankruptcy does not mean that the company will end, it just gives them a chance to fix what went wrong. Buying parts from ebay cannot be (and ISN'T) the sole reason why they filed for bankruptcy, the whole tuner market, as well as any other markets in the world, aren't doing so good as you may already know.

but back to the topic, i think cai has an advatage in high end torque and additional hp, and sri are for low end torque. personally i would go for the whale penis style intake from PJDM

dont waste ur money on a aem sri. if ur going sri go ebay with a different filter. but i say cai ftw

i would say spending 3 times as much on a cai is a waste of money seeing as an intake gives no real whp..

how do you figure that ? it might not give out a ton of HP but it gives some. unless you have th info or dyno sheet to prove it dosent please dont spread out false info.

I agree, if you can't prove that an intake doesn't improve your overall power then don't say that it doesn't.

im gonna have to agree, you do gain hp from any type of intake and exhaust. Although its not alot its still better than anything. you are taking off the stock restrictions which frees up air flow. Even by removing the resonator and taking the top off the air box and doing a "poor man" intake (like myself who is short of funds at the moment) there is a difference up top.

this is why I chose fujita cai over aem/injen:

wow, thats a really nice find, or is that your own dyno chart? i think you've just convinced me to get a fujita cai for my gsr, i'm just still nervous about hydrolocking it because i live in a winter wonderland, you can say, and i don't want to suck up any water, but i will definilty consider this intake

it's not mine, but I figure if an auto tsx could do so well, it wouldn't hurt. I couldn't find too many dynos to make up my mind, except individual dynos. Comptech looked like a good middle ground, but it's high end was nearly non-existant.

Its quite simple. The power gained from any intake is negligible, especially when that is your only mod. It is possible to get nice gains if the stock intake is seriously suppressing the power of the engine. In general, however an intake is not, by any means, a high hp mod. Do you understand now?

that's like saying any mod that isn't a turbo or supercharger is a waste of money. Everyone knows bolt ons aren't going to make your car the next 10 second car. Bolt-ons are relatively cheap mods, that provides some improvement over stock.

*tisk tisk* Read my first post in this thread. My point is that I don't see a point in spending 3 or 4 times as much on a cai when the power gains are so tiny. Its really not a hard concept, if you want to spend 2 or 3 hundred dollars on a mod that will give you like 7whp at the most, then by all means do so. I was just saying its a pretty stupid fucking thing to do imo. Its your car do as you will, but don't try and justify spending a ton of money on an intake by saying it does give worthy power to the dollar.

have you compared sri dyno's to cai dynos? People have different reasons for opting cai over sri, or vice versa. To say SRI for $100 is the better bang for the buck when you want higher rpm power is negated. The effects of either, is different. I opted for a cai on my integra because I have the civic tranny, which means i'm at 5.6k rpm on the freeway. Why would I want low end torque if I'm mostly in high rpms?

Everyone has different motivations. To say that one offers a better bang for the buck is subjective. The objective, being "what do you want to accomplish?".

If you think that a 10hp gain is negligible than you must think that only turbos are real mods, but to other car enthusiasts that could be a big difference. And in general, stock intakes are air restrictions for your engine, why else would you think manufacturers would come up with cold air intakes if our stock boxes would do the same performace?
