Lil Raja,
I used to have an AEM on an integra. It was great, with lots of power gains. But over time, there was this one place on the intake tube that rubbed against something and eventually, it created a HUGE hole in itself. To make a long story short, the engine sucked up all of that lovely ceramic coated aluminum shrapnel and ate it. Luckily, all it did was bend a spark plug.
Now you may ask: "why didn't you do something about the hole before it got too big?" Well for starters, it was on the bottom side, out of sight. Second, it didn't actually rub until the engine flexed under power.
I'm NOT taking this chance on an S2000, no matter how much the gains.

No doubt, I am trying to attend all the summit point events. But I think with all us youngings we are all about the sound and etc. We like the race car sound, so in my eyez the summit point and intake/mods fall under seperate catagories. If so concerned about the aesthetic/sound/feel why worry about which brand to go with? Cuz I want the best deal for the money. I totally agree with you and that's why I usually don't put anything crazy on my car like SC or Turbo. At least not until i know how to handle the power the car has already, which is more than enuff. Also, the same reason I got a 02 BMW 330ci instead of the e46 BMW M3. You make a very good point- I think a lot of people could definately benefit from it.

So what is your pic? Injen? I have Comptech parts on my car and they are great, but the intake is to much money for what its worth. Its paying more for the name if you know what I mean.
Take this with you....Usually your first decision(from the heart) is the best. LOL
