so ive been debating on changing intake for both aesthetic and performance reasons. i currently have an fipk and i cant say its a bad intake but im looking for something more pleasing to the eye, i considered a pwjdm unit but thats just stupid to pay that much for an intake and ive always liked the mugen intake but never went for it which is why i ended up with the fipk. Ideally i would like to get my hands on a mugen V1 intake but thats like finding a unicorn but the v2 intake or style intake is fine by me. so which would perform/look better AS IS with no enhancers like aut plate or ALEX diverter.


what do you guys think, i need a xmas present

 

noone?

 

Personally I think it's a joke putting the filter in a box like the OEM set-up(like the Mugen intakes). I'd stick with the FIPK and buy an ebay pipe. Here's my set-up, FIPK heat shield, ebay 3" pipe(soon to be 3.5"), BPI velocity stack, K&N filter, AUT plate

 

if you want a mugen intake expect to pay top dolla for it,ill just keep the FIPK,i have one as well and its just an intake its not going to give you 30+hp.

To H22toF20 why you got a huge test pipe? and you wanna run a 3.5?you turbo or something?I dont see the need of a 3 1/2 test pipe just to bottle neck to a 3 inch exhaust coming from a 2 1/2 colector if you are runing a header?
Not hating Just asking

 

keep your fipk man just save your money for a different part that you dont have !
in my opinion fipk is best bang for your buck intake for s2000 and unless you got bills to invest in NA build id stick to it

 

Comptech Icebox?

 

hmm, i guess an aut cooling plate would be the next thing, i was hoping the mugen/replica unit would have good praise but i guess not

 

Anyone know anything about the Level 7 Intake? How does it compare to the comptech icebox?

 

I was refuring to the intake pipe, not my exhaust. I don't think a 3.5" exhaust would be worth it, for the increase in weight. I'd still like to see a test though for shits and giggles. I also want to see how a 3" collector on my Berk would do paired with my 3" exhaust.

 

found some interesting info from king motorsports


"Hondata recently ran back-to-back dyno runs on a 2007 AP2 S2000 with a Hondata FlashPro. The first run is the car tuned with all OEM engine components except a and Mugen Exhaust with an OEM cat. For the second pull the only change was swapping out the OEM intake for the Mugen Intake and re-optimizing the tune.

This simple change garnered 16+ WHP gain - an incredible gain for the cost of an intake!

Because of these results, Hondata will now include the "Mugen Header, Exhaust and Intake" tune with any purchase of a FlashPro for S2000."
