K&N..

[boz5r]

Hi just a short one does the K&N filter for the CTR EP3 fit the DC5 oem airbox ? and does anyone do a cold air feed direct to the oem airbox? thanx.

 

[LeeH]

Yes it will fit.

Why do you need another cold air feed to the OE box? I don't think you'll be gaining much :?

Unless you mean a direct replacement to the OE cold feed? If so then I don't think so.

This is the only cold feed for the OEM box-

There is a few on here using these with good results.
A lot of people including me have cut the baffles from inside the OEM box-

iv been looking at induction kits too and i quite like this one

anyone on here tried this?

 

[Suped]

Have one and love it. For me, its very suited as I didn't like the loud noiseyness of the GruppeM or the K&N style suction of the Top Fuel. Doesn't produce the best results or the lowest intake temps but sure does fill the space up on the engine bay.

The AEM v2 sounds the quietest of the lot IMO which is what I was after and I'm also a AEM/DC sports brand whore! :lol:

 

[wullie]

really? i wanted noisier, i want to hear the vtec scream. i thot this would be pretty loud!! im kinda disappointed now!LOL i cant afford the grouppe m. i just want a kind of noisey ind kit that gives reasonable gains. oh, and lookjs good. that so much to ask?!

 

[Suped]

You really want the GruppeM then. Had one and only lasted about 2 weeks before it drove me insane and sold it.

Sometimes, they do crop up on the FS section, keep an eye out.

 

[wullie]

iv been looking but its alot of money. i only really have 200 to spend. rest of my wages go on fuel!

Get an AEM CAI kit then mate.

Cheap, good gains, good noise... just don't drive through deep puddles.

 

[rossco]

is the group m still £400+ :?: ,if so thats a ridiculous amount of money for a bit of noise

Em.. It's not just 'a bit of noise'. It's a carbon fibre RAM induction kit that produces more overall torque and BHP than any other kit. However, as with any induction kit, the benefits only really become apparent when twinned with a good manifold, cat back and a tailor tuned KPRO ECU.

if your going to do all that then maybe its worth it,but if not its a bit mad spending£400 on a filter

The filter in the Gruppe M is made by K&N and costs around £90.

What you're paying top dollar for is the carbon fibre airbox and scoop.

 

[sinbad]

and its £350 in the group buy :lol:

 

[boz5r]

Cheers might just get the gruppe m anyway its not a lot more than the 5zigen.

 

[sinbad]

id be tempted to try the J's racing one if i was to do it again.

[weejase]

Hi wullie, I`ll be selling my mugen airbox when my car comes :wink:

jase.

 

[wullie]

hmmm, could be a plan!!!

First mod i did was the K&N Typhoon Induction kit, and i LOVED the sound it made, my mate had the AEM V2 Kit which was deep throughout but didnt change note as much in VTEC, whereas the K&N sounded awesome in vtec, just thought I'd share my opinion
