Default Induction kit on ebay

No im not the seller, but i was looking at this item, generally i wont buy things of ebay, but you reckon this is a POS?, and will lose power?.

The only reason i thought it looked good as it is very very similar design to a AEM etc.

Hmmm....

It can't be compared to K&N - they are filter experts and their filters do actually filter stuff!

The tube has to fit directly onto the inlet manifold, which gives you a very good idea of its size. That in turn tells you that the filter itself is very small. They claim 50% bigger, and lots of bhp which should set off alarm bells. The intake of an S2000 is quite sensitive, as Kenny will tell you. If this chappie thinks he can design better than Honda's engineers in his shed, then fair play

Not to say the intake cant be improved, but....

Anyone who buys something like this shouldnt own a car.

Aliminium tubes

Small filter head

Filter head of unknown make

Filter head of unknown filtration level

I have just wased 5 minutes of my life on possibly the biggest POS product for the S2000

" 1 pieces setup induction kit "
WHY DO I SEE 3 PARTS THEN? TWO PIECES OF TUBING AND THE FILTER...

* High quality Light weight Polish Chrome Aluminum material
DOUBTFUL FOR THAT PRICE, THEY HAVE TO MAKE MONEY SOMEWHERE...

* Cone gauge reusable & rewash able filter with 50% more filter surface area than stock!
CHUCKLESOME, I DON'T THINK THEY SAW THE OEM VERSION!

* Polish chrome tube will reduces radiant heat by up to 80% over the stock tubing!
UH-HUH.

* Adds up to 7 to 13 additional horsepower and up to 16 foot pounds of torque ! ( result might be vary )
RSULTS MAY VARY, MEANING YOU COULD GET IT, BUT NOT WITH THIS P.O.S!

* Smooth bent tubing reduces turbulence and increases Hp
I SEE A 90 DEGREE BEND, IN TERMS OF AIRFLOW THAT AINT IDEAL

* Improve throttle response throughout Low / Mid-range RPM
HMMMMMM

* Allow smoother, and faster air flow into your throttle body
SEE TWO COMMENTS ABOVE

* Better gas mileage and more intense sound under hood
THATS A DIFFERENT DEBATE!

In summing up, its a piece of shit, nothing more nothing less.
