intake is fine, worth the money.
header is probably fine too, but muffler is too big and probably sounds like shit, and the cat isn’t legal, doesn’t pass emissions, and harms the environment while making your car smell and sound like shit.
There both ebay knock off. Which if you didnt know ebay knock off stuff is usually garbage. The intake dosent look to bad. A shitty intake is better then no intake i guess. But just save your money and buy an AEM one or a whale penis. The Header in the 2nd link looks cheap. And if you dont have the pipe, pipe bender, and a welder then you will have to take it to a shop, which will cost more then a whole cat back one. I think you should buy maybe a DC header, use your stock cat and buy a hks or RSR cat-back. Im sure you could pick all that up for under $600.00 and it will put better numbers out, look better, and you will be better respected if you go that rought. and remember the cheap guy pays twice! :salute:
It’s up to you whether you can justify spending $200 on an intake, or $30. Do some research on here about intakes before you decide…don’t listen to anybody else.
thanks guys, i think i might just go ahead wit the intake and just wait on a cat back and try to maybe find a used one from someone on here or save up for a while and spend $$ on one that will fit witout needin tubing or anything…
The intake wil porlly have fitment issues, the filter is shitty, i seen something b4 about ebay filters that they can fall part on u or something like that im not sure if thats true, i would just save nd got some nice dc header and rsr exhaust, nice sound and power.
p.s. u see the exhaust set (the second link) states u will get 30hp from it lmao…
I have an ebay short ram, came with the car. The filter has been on for 14 months now and is fine, but starting to get a little dirty. It fits all right too
i got the cold air intake, ima see how it does, might get a K&N filter for it… hope it does good =/
Any updates on the cold air intake?
I recently purchased and installed an ebay CAI and the quality wasnt horrible except the filter was garbage. The fitment was ok but did take a little customizing.
Overall you really do get what you pay for. But then again I cant personally justify spending $200 plus on an intake that has a name brand. Buy the cheap intake and a better filter.
Header though I would def spend the extra money. Heard a few horror stories about the welds cracking or breaking apart. But have also talked to people that have had no problems. If you have money give it a try and if you dont like it get a different setup.
Also it does say Up to 30hp increase which with just this setup is rediculous. But if you already had work done to your car say: Cams, PP head, high comp pistons, etc then yeah a more free flowing exhaust could easily yield you power near that number with the addition of appropriate piping size. But who the hell would do all that and then the exhaust last?
i will sell you a header and downpipe that i had custom made for me. 4-2-1 w/ hardware and gaskets for 40$ plus shipping. It has only been ran once then my tranny blew up and i decided to go turbo so i dont need it anymore. http://g2ic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=180738
so i got that ebay intake the exact one you are looking at and its a POS. dont get it. the piping is only 2.5 inch which is too small for my motor and the filter is made from metal mesh. i wasnt expecting much from the filter i just wanted piping because my old intake doesnt fit my DA. well anways i used it cause i needed a intake i just am using a HKS filter. so now i got this 2.5 inch intake going to my 70mm throttle body and fully built gsr motor which was tuned on a 3inch itr aem intake. o well its okay for now. but i dont recomend buying it. get the one that says 3 pipeing.
Um just because it is too small for your motor doesn’t mean it isn’t the perfect size for other people’s setup. Telling people not to get this intake based upon your motor setup is wrong. Think.
And besides, there is no point in this thread, the OP doesn’t even own an Integra anymore.
i say go for the intake, i think all cold air intakes do the same thing an add the same amount of power being cheap or name brand.
as for the exhaust “kit” i say pass and just save up and buy something thats worth spending money on…
I will buy it if he didnt.
