i think apexi is generally more nissan than honda, not the best stuff on the market but if the price was right and your happy then whats the problem! :wink:

From my experiences and others i know - Hyeline are not the best place to take advice from.

Try V-Spec in Ponty, great rep from work with Honda's

best is gruppem, followed by injen cai....

gruppem is £400+, injen is £200, these are dyno proven to be the best

as did the injen i put on mine and im sure those with the gruppem would say the same too, your right though that a lot of it is deffo opinion based, however i do remember reading somewhere a proper comparison between teh more popular intakes on the same car adn same dyno which showed gruppem at the top then the injen, the gaps were only marginal though

showed gruppe M at the top with peak power.

how it behaves all through the rev range is another matter :idea:

I might get flamed for this but i do not like the way the AEM stacks all its power and torque right at the top. I drove a standard CTR with AEM CAI and tbh it felt dead before VTEC. In comparison my car had alot more throttle response and low down grunt and when we swapped cars the other driver noticed this too.

I also have a standard CTR except for the ITG Maxogen. A long ram filter will always lack the throttle response and low down responsiveness of a sealed CAI.
