Was thinking about doing a few go fast mods for my 2k...and thought that I would start with a CAI. Any suggesstions on what is out there would be appreciated.

 

i like the injen one

 

The AEM is similar to the Injen. Then there's the AEM/Injen clone that 4IGs2000 is selling.
The PRM intake seems to be gaining popularity.
If you don't want to change the existing airbox too much, then consider the "snorkel" by Spoon ($$$$$) or IDI ($$) or from AusS2000 ($$).
K&N also have a FIPK set-up.
It's all a matter of personal taste and money.

 

PRM....AEM/Injen/4IG are also very good, but a biatch to install....took me and wis s2k about 5.5 hrs to do his, while my PRM took me 45 min....

 

Mugen also makes a snorkel, but you get no power gains and it costs $1500.

 

the thing is that it's really hard to measure cai's power gain/ lose on dyno...
some say mugen actually gains a lot when car's on track...

then again, there is NO s2000 cai that actually gives noticeable power gain on the market.
so like sir xviper said, it really comes down to your taste and how much money you wanna spend. (or waste...)

then there's this stuff, which is supposed to be the most effective cai for s2000.
(which is also one of the most expensive, and the best looking...)



it's said that it is superior to mugen or stock one through out the entire rpm range.

i personally use comptech ones,
i really feel a bit of power gain, but people say aem gains more.
i still chose comptech because i liked its looks.

 

Damn that intake is nice, looks like J's??

any one have a clip of this or heard it? I wonder if it's as loud as AEM.

the are from k & n...
sold in japan only, only through this one shop called "autobacs second- hand market."

 

I call that intake the "plumber" because it looks like someone is butt up working on some leaky faucet.
