@Luv2Huvr just got mine installed last week. imo it sound stock when u drive like a granny but with a bit more gas it opens up real nice. sound is more meaty compared and vtech is like making a girl squirt.. during long drives, u won't have problems with it.
I have the 08 Civic LX, wish I had the SI but that's a different story. Anyways, this may be a stupid question but is the CAI suppose to give us better gas mileage or worse?
I was looking online at K&N and the CAI for my car is only going to get me about 6 more HP, is it REALLY worth the money?
K&N included a heat shield surrounding the side of the filter next to the engine bay. the reason why they positioned the filter this way is to reduce contamination and the heat shield reduced radiant heat. lil heat>dirt
@OffbeatMarkie84. Sorry please ignore the retarded comments about cold air intakes (friend using iPod) but yes that would make a lot of sense from my perspective. My friend however didn't even no how to put the rubber hose onto the col air intake and it took me half an hour trying to wrench it off... Lol(not really it was cold out n snowing )
for what a 8th Si has to offer for its great price, there is no better car. I love my Si, you can go wrong. its a 4 cylinder but can take a lot of cars all stock. You cant say anything bad about this car because you dont have one nor have you experienced it! so stfu
@matthewrockslol22 oh yeah of course u have a girlfriend and you get plenty, hahahaha stupid mother fucker. stop masturbating to hondas, and playind world of warcraft. go compare your piece of shit 5k trunk to a new ford raptor or a old school built chevy, your shit probably has black stockies, fucked up paint, and ripped up interior. cheap poor ass mother fucker.
@subliminalcreativ haha yeah sure why dont u post a vid of ur new ford raptor keep talkin shit bitch u aint compare to shit u dont even know me ive got a job and a gf and a nice truck what do u have? HUH?
@matthewrockslol22 learn how to read you stupid red neck fuck head. i never said that i had a raptor, i told u to go and compare your piece of shit truck to a raptor. u fucking public school error piece of shit. its called READING COMPREHENSION. read and understand stupid mother fucker. well, either way, your poor so i dont blame it all on you. probably your parents, that are also poor.
@matthewrockslol22 oh really? which is why you bought a 5k truck and is checking out honda civics, hahaha if you had money, you would be saying that you had this car and souped the fuck out of it. so shut the fuck up. what does it matter what kind of car i have, dont change the subjet you piece of shit. youre probably rich, but rich in fucking redneck harmones from your inbred family.
@subliminalcreativ nvm your from mexico im not even gona talk to u. dont even think about trying to cross the boarder ill get la megra on ur wetback ass
@matthewrockslol22 hahahaha yeah im from mexico and i have a better reading comprehension than you. and learn how to spell you piece of shit, its migra, not megra hahahahaha omg, wow how original, "wetback ass" hahahaha can you please wikipedia any more insults towards mexicans? hahaha wow, you are soo fucking lame, i feel bad for you. i bet if i met your girlfriend i can fuck her so hard, and jizz all over her face with my brown mexican cock....i bet shes a fucking whore.....
@subliminalcreativ sorry i have a life i dont take my time in writing comments on youtube talking shit lol i diddnt even read half ur comment im too fucked up to give a shit about u
@ABooter30 NOT SO as it doesn't filter or meet the standards required for filtration by the engine. You are sandblasting it and causing damage together with NOISE. Don't confuse NOISE with POWER, you have decreased power fitting that. The original filter & box passes more air than the engine needs. You're a victim of advertising.
@ABooter30 tell you the truth bandgeek is actually right. Who cares if it has a heat shield. You just fell into the stereotype with every other Honda guy that wants an intake for the sake of sound and that gives nominal flow improvements... Before you call anyone a retard, how much horsepower did you gain 7 horsepower?
@Bandgeek232010 dude the stock intake on the si is angled back...then there is a tube that goes down that comes up into the fender....dnt be fuckin dumb saying obvious shit....like..."hey its day time in the video"
@Bandgeek232010 the k-series engines manifold is in the front i know its weird. but all the short rams. like aem, ingen, fujita, all those face the same wayas this k&n sri. a cold air will go from the manifold under the battery.
@Aldo586 no sir that is a short ram air, a cold air has the filter in the lower bumper where there is a plentiful amount of cold air it can suck directly yes this may use the factory tubing that goes down low but this is no where near as efficient as a CAI is, all the heat shield does is reduce the amount of heat that hits the filter but yet sadly this intake is just as vulnerable to heat soak but at least there isn't worries of hydro lock when you have a CAI
Nice car great sound, but here's my 2 cents =] Get a ebay CAI or SRI and simply replace the filter with a main brand (AEM, K&N, Injen ect.). Why? Because you're realistically paying for a pipe and a filter which by no means is worth $300 appose to the ebay $50 and maybe another $50 for the new filter. Without tuning for most cars, especially these 4 cylinders, a CAI/SRI will only add somewhere from 5 - 10 whp anyways. So unless you go to car shows and down want a cheap brand, why not save money?
...or just buy the name brand on ebay or craigslist from local sellers. People who pay 200-300 for name brand intakes just don't know how to shop. Either that or they're too impatient to wait for a good deal. I recently bought the K&N intake new on ebay for 150 shipped. I just got it a few days ago and everything was in the retail box brand new. Haven't installed it though.
@xxnissansilviaxx I went with Takeda. It's less expensive and you get a 17whp 16lbft tq gain from it on the new Si (dyno proven). Takeda sounds a lil' better too:)
@Nighthawk08Si its funny how they can lie to you telling you an intake gives you 10+hp gains that is some real bullshit come on man read a little more learn about cars dont post things thinkin you know intakes dnt give u 10+hp...so what do headers give you 30 hp and exhaust another 30? why buy a turbo lol come on
@Aldo586 Ok, the average gain from the takeda sri is more like 14 whp or so. Do I think I got 30 from my exhaust? Of course not, probly more like 5-10 if I'm lucky.Fact is I got WAY more power from my car with my intake than my exhaust.Perhaps you know more about cars than I do, perhaps not.
@xxnissansilviaxx I went with Takeda. It's less expensive and you get a 17whp 16lbft tq gain from it on the new Si with no other mods (dyno proven). Takeda sounds a lil' better too:)
@Aldo586 Bud, don't tell me to read and learn more about cars lol. I've built a car and a toyota rockcrawler FROM THE GROUND UP. Everyone has more to learn about cars including myself lol.
@ABooter30 Let me correct you... An intake does not give you 200+whp. and that's not decent either. Congrats. You have the slowest sport compact currently made.
@arwblink1822 faggot just because v8 is bigger doesn't mean it's better. go race in NASCAR... if 4 cylinders are gay then why are you looking up videos of them?
