if a quality thread gets started on the topic we'll see
the problem with exhaust setups is that everyone is picky about the sound, and well there's no real way to describe a sound with words, and there's probably not sound clips of every type of exhaust on the internet
i wouldnt be surprised

You sure..?
Most of the password intakes come with a proven dynosheet.

ok, so when i bought my EK the previous owner had put on a little Ractive short ram intake and the filters starting to get bad anyways so i've been looking at the password:jdm carbon fiber "whale penis" intake and i was wondering how good it is? it seems like people really like it but when i'm going to make a $180 investment in an intake, i want to make sure i'll get the most bang for my buck. i drive an EX so i'm running the D16Y8 engine too.

i just really think putting more than like $40 into an intake is absurd. youre not getting any noticeable power increases out of it, why not spend $180 on something that will make a difference
Weapon-R secret weapon, so far 2 years and counting. Tried 4 other intakes and did not keep them more than a few months each.
pros
-good design (dimpled plenum, velocity stack filter, relocated IAT sensor)
-better gas mileage than stock (warmer air = less fuel used)
-slightly improved torque and hp
-quieter than other intakes
-filter works really well
-cool sucking and turbo bov noises at higher rpm
cons
-took some effort to install properly
-filter works too well and needs cleaning every 6 months

Sorry man, its 6th gen only, I appreciate your post though.
whoops....better take off my autozone intake on the b18 then....its in an eg...didnt even think about it sorryBOV turbo noises??
Sorry man, its 6th gen only, I appreciate your post though.
other than sound and minimal power is there a MPG increase and if so how much?
Not noticeable.
Even if there was, you wouldn't feel it because you'd be shifting later just to hear the intake.
yeah no s**t, show that thing some love man.....nothing worse than a dirty d^^ that is a hella dirty engine bay
after i put my skunk2 IM on, the short ram i have combined with it make a pretty cool sound. from idle to about 2500 rpms, you can hear it sucking air in.
