I am wondering if anyone can tell me which cold intake would SOUND BETTER and give me MORE HP?

S2000 Tsuchinoko Intake System OR My currently installed K&N Generation II FIPK




I have the Tsuchinoko but am hesitant to install it because I would have to cut my hood and my current K&N set up works very well and has a nice note when my silencer is installed in my T1R single exhaust. Without the silencer, my car is very loud and I'm afraid of getting a ticket from the cops. The K&N alone is loud. I have the J's Racing Type S front bumper with the hole in it to draw air for the Tsuchinkoko. I would really like to get rid of my exhaust silencer.

 

You heard mine Wally, it's a pretty loud un silenced Invidia N1V3. I have K&N as well and love it. A dyno is posted in the NA form that shows a HP gain of about 9.02. What wing do you have?

 

J's Intake is pretty quite, if you have a loud exhaust you most likely won't even hear it. Even with a silencer in it. Again cutting the hood is a bitch, but not too hard to do. It would also match you bumper setup.

The K&N is a nice intake set up, it has a nice intake sound when you get on the throttle...shows gains.

It really is up to you, both intakes are good, but what exactly do you want? Sound? Looks? etc...

 

K&N Generation II FIPK sounds f'ing awesome. i wouldn't care if it gave me 0 gains. in fact i bet it didn't. love mine.

 

Let me say I have an Invidia V3 dual with 70mm testpipe, and a Password JDM intake without the filter covers and snorkel, and it is WAY louder than my exhaust after Vtec kicks in, unless the top is down.

 

Keep the K&N,and sell me the Tsuchinoko Intake.

 

Keep the K&N and the Tsuchinoko til you get a proper bonnet. Then you can run the Tsuchinoko.

looks are not important

 

I don't have a problem with cutting the hood. I only want to do it if the change over is worth it. My current set up would be extremely hard to equal or beat.
