Hi guys, how is everyone doing? I have a 2003 s2000 which is bone stock currently. After doing hours of research on google/yahoo/this forum/honda-tech I still cannot decide which the best intake is to purchase. If someone can please make a sticky for intake comparison that would be great. Here is a list of the intakes I would like the pro/cons listed (low, mid, vtec torque/hp gains, throttle response, etc...) Please add more if you like. If you have personal experiance with the intakes add input about it. I have honestly done a lot of research and cannot seem to find a decent topic about this, someone should just go ahead and make this a sticky because intake is usually the first mod anyone does to their car. Please try to not be a smart ass and post useless comments like "The best intake - The Tornado. 27% Horsepower increase! It's spectacular!!!."
Dyno sheets would be nice too.
AEM Cold Air
AEM V2
ARC Intake Box with Chamber
Fujita F5
Injen Cold Air
K&N Typhoon
Spoon Sports Air Duct
J's Racing Carbon Intake System
Mugen Carbon Intake System
Weapon-R Dragon
K&N Cold Air Intake
Some other intake like this:

Feel free to add your own intake that I have not listed.
Once again please do not post anything that is not needed, try to be mature.
(Include price, how it looks, basically every aspect of an intake with pics and everything if possible)
Thanks in advance!!! =)

 

PRM.

 

Carbon fiber products come first, expensive but doesnt get hot and performs better than other.

AEM,K&N..I'd choose one of these two


if you got the cash go for a carbon fiber .. if not ^^these would be great

 

Might as well add the K&N FIPK. It's very popular around here, and I have one. Great sound, some added midrange power, and no risk of hydrolock.

 

Some might say there is no point in doing an extensive comparison of intakes because most are very similar and all yield about the same minimal performance gains.

The best intake for the money? = stock.

If you insist on atermarket = the K&N FIPK is a very popular option.

Personally = I run the J's Type-V snorkel.

 

VVVVVV222222!!!! Plain n simple!

Show me some dyno graphs to prove otherwise!

 

Dyno's would add a lot more to this thread, V2= 0hp...I have it. Stock Intake, removed intake lid 0hp gain, removed OEM filter and lid .5whp We tested this at a local shop just for fun.

 

thanks for all the pos. replys, what about the ARC intake box with the chamber or w/e looks heavy duty anyone have anything to say about this one? Also which intake is best for VTEC crossover (i love the sound of VTEC engaging, which intake makes it more audible) is there any mod I can do to hear it better?

 

Are you kidding me, man? As far as the AP2 goes..the V2 werks!

I dynoed 225.3 on a dyno dynamics

 

the PRM filter is very nice, the creates a resonance in the up RPM range and makes good power, but the PRM needs a better intake tube and heat shield to see real gains
