is this intake worth the money

is that worth the money if you could give me your thoughts i would appreciate it , i know i cant spell it but u get the point.. hah

if it's what they say it is....
 

I would definately say yes "if" it's what they say it is.... I personally wouldn't order it because it isn't an actualy photo they have posted.... it's an edited picture..... but if it's the real deal sounds pretty damn good to me..... but.... what do I know? (not much)

looks like another crappy ebay part :(

biggest thing i could have learned, and just did, email the seller and find out the information you want to know... ie will it fit my car, what if i have some issues with the fitment of this part and it doesn't work? are there any other modifications i need to make? will this intake hose work with my engine? will it rattle around when i accelerate... these are all questions that the seller HAS to answer for you, i can't tell you much personally, as i'm in the same process you are ... in ordering this intake pipe. good luck
peace

thanks bud, and actually, i'm not going for the ractive... too rich for my blood :) i'm going the ebay method, aim me sometime dude.
peace

i think i'm gonna go the route of building one out of civic/integra parts.


hey demon, nice to see the smaller sig.

ummm, gee bob, thanks :rolleyes:

as far as that intake, this seller hasn't responded to SEVERAL emails, i wouldn't buy shit off of him. as for the intake design, it would work, the only question i have about all of these intakes is how the air filter is mounted. i guess i'll find out when mine comes in the mail... i'll keep you posted. bottom of the line is, e-bay isn't what it used to be, before you could get nice to medium quality shit at a nice price, now a days, it's get a rock bottom price for a rock bottom product. there are a lot of respectable sellers and products on ebay... unfortunately, i doubt these intakes are any of those :(

nope, check the shipping and handling charge.. i mean, really, it does take 8 bucks to throw a piece of alluminum into an envelope and slap 4 0.34 cent stamps on there... er or are we on 0.37 cent stamps.. who the uck cares anyway, but if need be, theres another 12 bucks
peace

hey guys,

I just wanted to know something abt these perfomance intake chips.... do they actually work??
and the intake systems.... are they worth the money??
and which are the best ones that are there on the market??

i have a 94 Protege LX....

thanks for the help

i'll be honest to tell you that i'm not the one to say what intake works better than another... with any cheap shit off ebay, you get what you pay for, simple as that in my opinion. as far as those of you who had to sign up to an integra club to read that, heres the gist..
"An "off the shelf" or mail order ECU is a programmer's best guess at trying to make a program that will fit as many different engine combination of mods as possible...that's why I call these "one-size-fits-all". These usually get you in the no gain or 5% disappointment gain ballpark. You will not get major gains with these "best guess" chips. Save your money."

and goes on further to say that you should buy a chip burner computer or something and program your own ECU... blah blah blah, this shit that shit... anyways, forget an aftermarket piggy back. only ideal situation where you need a replacement ecu is if you do BIG mods like a turbo charger or what not.. anyway,
peace out and search first... it's saves alot of aggony
