Intake? Which One
 
Which one of these Intakes would you guys select? Does anyone have any experience with any of these?

Intake 1

Intake 2

Intake 3

Intake 4 For all I know these are all the same ones and maybe I should just get the cheapest. Please let me know. I am only getting one for looks but I do not want junk either.

Thanks,
JellyBean

Basically when you buy an intake from ebay thats not a name brand they are usually all the same, in fact thats the case with most intakes you pay for the name.

Just make sure you buy from someone with good feedback, I would go for the cheapest one.

id have to agree, just go for the cheapest one with a REALLY good feed back. my brother bought me this one for christmas and I have had no problems with, not even any rubbing. But I got a heat shield with mine.

I went for #5.
There's yet another one on ebay called the "obx racing intake" It's made out of polished aluminium sounds great, and it fits like a glove. Another thing to look for, as well as good feedback, is a washable air filter. Washable means NOT paper.

lemme guess, these things result in absolutely no HP gains, right? or do they actually make breathing for the engine worse?

Not this can o' worms again!

-More HP?- depends on who you ask, me personally? not much, if any.
-Better throttle response? Yep. this I can feel.
-How about Sound/Looks? It's got a little growl to it now, & polished aluminium looks way better than black plastic!
-Worth 45 bucks shipped? Sure, why not?

I'd go with 1 or 4

1 because it's cheaper and pretty much the same thing.

4 because I bought that one from autobacs1, not bad customer service, but took a while to get here, somewhere around 3 weeks, because of christmas season

2 xoxo parts send my friend the wrong color damaged for his civic,

3 seems fine but more money.

what i "gained" from my intake (4):

Nice sound, some throttle response, nicer looking engine bay
