Intake Review Thread

[Integraguy04]

Dont know the brand name but I got it from one6motorsports in arlington heights, IL
Cost- 150$
2.75" CAI for a 94-99 GSR (I know i have an LS but they didnt make it for that so i got the GSR and made it work)
Pros: easy install, sounds really good (louder than my exhaust), and 2 piece (i like to take the "cold air" part off if the winter), and it made my car run a lot cooler as well with the hondata IM gasket
Cons: For a GSR and has that bend in it
rate it a 4...only other one i would think of getting is the ARC one or a whale penis

[Samurai_Blue]

Name of intake: AEM SRI (Short Ram)

Cost: $107 shipped from JDM-In-Stock (ebay)

Year/Model/Motor: 1996 Integra LS with a stock B18B USDM motor

Your Impression: Everything has been said about this intake before haha. But this little dude is a good upgrade, imediatly felt difference in throttle response (i had a stock intake with the top of the air box remomved) But, rev match and heel toe are easier with this intake because of improved throttle response. Very good intake.

Pros: Cheap, ($50-$125) Sounds amazing at WOT, CARB legal

Cons: Heat Soak

Overall Rating: (1-5) 1=sucks ass 5=FTMFW! 4.5 (cause of heat soak)

Pictures (optional): will upload when im back in sac durring thanks giving

 

[TeggyBear_Ls]

Name of intake: "SDP" SRI (home-made intake baby!)

Cost: $20

Year/Model/Motor: 95 integra LS B18B1 non-vtec

Your Impression: Very noticeable top end power increase. Huge intake roar, sounds just like a vtec kciking in @ 4k rpms.... No torque loss at bottom end surprisingly. Background on Intake: brother works @ a exhaust shop, so he bent up a 3" pipe for his intake (boss didn't charge) and we bought a $20 filter @ PepBoys. Done.

Pros: Cheap as hell, easy to do. I used 3" piping instead of the weakass 2" or 2.5" piping like aftermarket companies.

Cons: press-bent piping, egg shaped at elbow. Doesn't effect flow, just changes shape.

Overall Rating: (1-5): 4

[BigMac88]

Name of intake: AEM Short Ram

Cost: ~125 shipped from statracing.com

Year/Model/Motor: 1997 Integra GSR - B18C1

Your Impression: Meh, it's a short ram what more can I say? It's got a CARB sticker, so it's nice for us CA guys. Relocating the coolant lines was an annoying 10 minute job. You can't go WRONG with this intake, but there are better ones back on the market.

Pros: A slight increase in midrange power, Sounds good, CARB Legal

Cons: It's a generic short ram, line relocation is boring and annoying.

Overall Rating: 3
