got about 500 bucks to spare, thinking about an air intake but dont know what to go with, here are my questions

what brand to go with?
what are the benefits or difference between short ram and the other?
installation difficulty?

thanks folks!!

 

stillen 3G CAI produces the most power.. but people have reported the tube rubbing against the chassis... also the installation is one of the more difficult ones.

another CAI u can look into is injen.

SRI are mostly for looks/sound, if ure looking for power then CAI is the way to go

SRI are really easy to install and cost a lot less...

 

Stillen GEN3 All the way!!!
Installation is not hard at all, and YOU DONT have to take off the bumper. Just take the grill out. Easy. When installed properly, you should have no rubbing against the chassis.

 

+1 for Stillen gen3 CAI.

I would go with Stillen or Injen either way you go.

SRI is a simpler installation (even though CAI isn't hard at all), I think the CAI looks better than SRI, but some think the opposite

for stillen gen3 you have to cut a little plastic, for injen CAI you have to replace the washer fluid reservoir, and for SRI's you don't have to cut/replace anything that I know of

 

someone link the intake thread....

 

Was going to say the same thing..

 

I have the Stillen Gen 3 and I love it! I had the Injen short ram before it was meh.

 

R2c. Short ram, with heat shields, and the best, most efficient filters in the industry.

 

If you keep the original exhaust, what intake is best for breathing, not looking to get more power. And people who do, how much power more can you get? I'm looking for good breathing, and good intake sound. Like when I had my AEM short intake on my civic?

 

Different people will say different things about the sound. I think the Gen3 sounds awesome, some people really like the Injen/Fujita SRI's, it's all personal preference. If you search around YouTube there should be plenty of sound clips.

If you are SOLELY looking for breathing and don't care about power/sound just get some good high-quality drop in filters (like HKS or something similar)

As for power with A/M intakes, Stillen claims +13 WHP on the Gen3, but that may be a bit optimistic. It definitely does give a noticeable boost to HP/TQ, but I am not sure on an exact #

 

skip the intakes and get HFC or use that 500 on sways and grounding wires.

 

thank guys

i think imma go with the stillen gen3, i've been looking at their website for awhile now, imma get it within the next 2 weeks

again, thanks!!

 

i need to find out where they are selling the STILLEN for cheap

 

talk to Lou (Amplified) or Nick (THMotorsport) they should be able to do something for you

 

looked @ their official website, stillen gen3 CAI is going for 499 with free shipping, anyone know of a lower price?
