sorry if this is a repost... i looked allover for a post on intakes and couldnt find one...

anyways! i am looking for performance parts, and obviously thought of an air intake 1st. but am torn as to what one to get.. HKS, injen, ralliart, K&N? i dunno.
what gains can i expect? who has a proven unit that will have a noticable difference (if any...)

currently i have an HKS drop in unit... got it for $22 and i guess its ok for an uber cheap upgrade...

but im distraught on what one to get.. any help would be welcomed

 

I have the HKS Racing Suction intake and I love it...spool is loud as hell!

 

the injen is kinda pricey, but I was very pleased with the fitment and function of this kit. I have it installed with the Greddy Type-S. Very nice.

 

I have K&N and it is very loud also. I've heard different opinions on this one but I don't have any problems. I could not really notice a power difference but it sounds nice. If I had to do it over again I'd probably get the HKS RS because it seems to be easier to tune the car with this intake. I heard that Al at Dynoflash say it was a lot tougher to get a good tune with the K&N. If money isn't a problem, I'd go with the HKS.

 

Aps make an intake that drops into the fender.Nice cold air...........

 

I'd go with injen... it's super high quality, noticeable gains (even w/o a flash), could hear the stock bov clear as day, could hear the Turbo as loud as one on a Freightliner, and the finish, especially the black is gorgeous... plus, you don't have to worry about matching up an intake and upper i/c pipes so they fit together nicely since they both come as part of a kit...

 

HKS RS intake.

 

HKS RS Intake, I have mine for sale if interested 2 months old and 100 miles on it..

 

You will not see a difference between the drop in and an open air.

 

until your car's tuned for one.

 

sorry... ive been doing it all winter... im sorry man, in need professional help with my problems!

 

PLEASE pm me with a price! maybe we can negotiate on some other stuff as well. i have been a mamager for an Audio/Video store for a while.

 

since i have virtually NO mods done, and turbo cars are a new thing for me... how exactly is your car flashed? can i do it with a bit mapper? my dad has one for his truck...

 

ARC Induction box... very sexy...

 

The HKS is garbage IMO. Mainly cuz the point of a filter is to clean the ait coming into your engine and HKS does this the worst. I'd go with either K&N or the Apex'i intake. Those 2 flow the best and are the best at filtering impurities out of the air.
