It's still too bad that there's even less available for the 1.6

you don't have to buy anything because we said so...I'm just saying as a guy who designs piping there is NO science to it. smooth bends, appropriate piping and thats it.

i don't think you quite understand.....I own an ebay intake. I don't make them. What I do make is custom supercharger systems....the way I make my piping is to use the right sized aluminum with the least number of harsh bends while staying away from the "hot air".....it's a very simple procedure actually. There is no real trick to it.

yeah oh well live and learn. I cant decide on an intake they are all cheap pricewise but not all are marked as CAI or SRI, and almost none have directions just parts.(That cake sounds awesome)

you';ll need to be able to "fabricate" the intake together to make it work. Eevrything like that is sorta generic but it works well once you get it in there.

Think of it like this, whereas the civic community shops at McDonalds, we get offered the Filet Mignon. It costs a little more, and there is less of it around, but it's worth every cent.

that was a beautiful analogy....lol
peace
