I see that K&N typhoon comes out to about $175. If I can get ahold of this guy that said he might be selling his AEM, i'll take it. I JUST bought a new K&N filter so I'd hate to see it go to waste.

The only reason i'm considering the OBX is because it looks pretty damn good and I am on a budget like usual. Especially with college starting next week. I can't wear a cold air intake to school. WELL...it wouldn't cover all my body.

I guess i'm trying to ask if that OBX cai seems to be a good deal for the money? And whether or not anyone has it/had experiences with it.

 

If you have a money crunch then go with the OBX intake...

 

Even when I mounted it as high as I could with zip ties and my own little TB holder, it STILL rubbed. Idk if there is something just wrong specifically with my car that doesn't mount right.

 

lol
i said it looks i never said it was
i am a honda dude im used to smooth bends and stuff
and i have had bad experiences with obx

 

i'll prolly just get it and throw a kn filter on it. i hate to spend 70 bucks on it though...damn.

 

you can't get any smoother than those bends... When you say smooth are you referencing the 90* bend? You said your a honda dude, that is why i ask. maybe your unfamiliar with the placement of the neon intake system.

I can see welds on my boys 1.6l here: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...TECOUPE006.jpg

I wouldn't say its crap, since he made 328whp at 11psi on a stock B16

 

ok here comes my expert opinion which is completely right and if you think i am wrong you can suck me off:


1) obx is a good brand. they have quality prices for the fraction of the cost of other manufacturers. i am not saying they are the best, because they are not, but i think they are very good.

2) a cai is just a tube. and a very small one at that. brand of the tube makes no difference, you may gain 1 more hp with the k&n rather than a ebay one, but it is just the tube. and welds dont mean its bad.

3) the filter is the main part you want to worry about. get a good k&n and the tube will make no difference

4) PVC INTAKE FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

TOXIC GASES FTMFW!

 

where do you get toxic gasses from?


btw: sweet sig

 

i was told heated pvc gives off a toxic gas. i thought that's why you were saying that...

your sig is sweeter. [8D]

i was having trouble deciding between the stg3 or agp 50 trim. i think i made a good choice.
