Cold Air Intakes

pvr3384 · 05-08-2006, 12:35 PM

Im looking to put on a cold air intake on an S2000 that I'm about to buy in order to give it an extra 10-15 hp. Anybody have any suggestions for a good starter intake?

Thanks a lot!

no intake will give u 15 hp, they list that by tweaking dyno numbers but in real life u wont get that much hp. i have the aem cold air, it sounds nice and sucks air from the front bumper, like 220$

interesting.... do you find it to be worth it? does it add noticeable performance to the car, besides just making a nicer sound? how much to install?

A CAI will add a few HP, but not much. When I added mine, I also did an exhaust at the same time. The new sound was awesome. I would suggest getting one, but you won't see the amount of gains that you mentioned above.

yea the biggest differnce was the sound, mabye liek 3 hp, the stock air box breathes alright so it wont change a lot. i did install myself in like an hour, u gotta cut a little of your splash guard but its nothing
