AEM only makes a SRI and I would not reccomend it... Id say go with Injen or K&N Cold Air Intake, and a Comptech Header...

The Skunk 2's not bad... at little big for my taste...so I dont have it or know much about it...someone else can better answer this for you

In that case Id say go with something such as a Mugen Airbox, Fujitsbo Legacy Exhaust and Comptech Headers... Hondatas good too of course...but those mods should be the best to adjust the sound to just be a low deep rumble rather then a F1 Car...

thanks for MemphisRheins' help. but i wanna ask whats Mugen Airbox? is it a intake or using with the intake?
Another, anyone can post the sound of Injen CAI? i am very interted in that sound.

Mugen intake is an intake, much like our OEM one (and uses some of the parts from ours). The difference is it's CF and it's mugen, and... i think it has different piping system or something.. i don't know....ask experts. But Mugen intake DO give you a very good gain all through the RPMs....

There's tons sound clips of CAI... just use search.....
see.... we are nicer here than the other board.....haaha..... we don't hate on Noobs~!

TtSsXx · 11-09-2005, 07:52 PM

ya....guys are so nice here....lol......i have read lots about u2 guys' writing. and i get lots helpful knowledge from u guys. thns a lots again here. since as ur said that the Mugen intake do give a very good gain, do u think i should take the Mugen intake instead of the Injen CAI better with the Comptech header? how much is the Mugen one?

MemphisRheins · 11-09-2005, 08:12 PM

The Mugen stuff is better...but it carries a nice price tag with it

Since the Mugen intake is like the Comptech IceBox it will be quiet compared to the Injen CAI. The Injen CAI is only loud at WOT...I have one and love it.

The Mugen airbox is like.....4-5 times the price of Injen......hahaha, so if you really wan it, you have to think about what price you are willing to pay for an intake.

I heard that the Mugen airbox's WOT sound is comparable to the CAI, it's either just as loud or a little quieter..... and i forgot but there's something that you can do that makes the Mugen Airbox loud for all the rpm or something......

Well, I'm probably wrong about the Mugen intake since not many people have them but I know the Comptech Icebox is quiet (ask Type X) compared to the Injen CAI. Like I said the CAI is quiet unless you go around driving WOT a lot like me. The CAI is as quiet as the stock airbox at highway speeds and low RPMs. You will hear it a little under normal acceleration and you will certainly hear it under hard acceleration (WOT).
