Type S Intake with K plus N drop in filter *swap*

[Nik_L]

Just putting the feelers out to see if any1 (preferably Fife/Edinburgh area) would be interested in swapping their AEM V2 intake for my Type S intake with K+N drop in filter....

Would maybe consider other intakes, but no Ebay specials.

Reason i am asking for local-ish (within reasonable driving distance) is i use the car daily, and kind of need it on the road so would prefer to meet up and do a swap.

can I ask why you want this swap? It seems a little Type S > AEM

[Nik_L]

Ask away lol.

The Type S intake was on the car when i got it. I just fancy trying the AEM out and seeing what its like.

Don't get me wrong, i love the factory look of the Type S intake, but also like to change stuff and make it my own.

From doing a bit of research, most folk are on the bench. Alot prefer the Type S, and alot prefer the AEM.

Figure-wise (and I've linked to this before somewhere) there was a honda-tech thread in which a guy dyno'd with a TypeS, V2 and I think AEM short ram... IIRC there was a difference of less than 2-2.5hp across all three.

Suppose it depends what final HP you're looking at.

Im not going to be chasing figure's. That gets faaar to expensive with N/A.

So really, you could just put it down to the noise, and seeing what it will be like compared to the Type S.

Nik ive got a couple of intake pipes - one of them an ebay special and the other is a bit of an oddball type one if you want to nip down to the burgh and try them out then no probs im not using them at the mo

imo if you like to mix it up a little and you would like some more noise you should seriously think about removing the resonance chamber from behind the bumper first. this is a massive chambered thingy that quietens the engine noise. take it off and hear the roar. engine feel much more free up the top of the revs.

IMO the AEM is a step down due to it drawing air from the hot engine bay. The h22 loves cold air and the type S (with resonator removed) gives the open feeling at the top end you want from a pipe but still takes air from outside the car. It will also affect your power curve negativly without a tune up.

You might find you get what you fancy with just three bolts being removed

Any pics or details of the "oddball" type one lol.

Was really for the price difference that i excluded an Ebay special.

What exactly is this bit?

I'm a total noob and couldn't find anything in the wiki either

LLL, i think there's a chance the resonator box thing might have been removed. IIRC, the car has had a few different intake's on it, including a hardpipe with a cone filter. So im assuming its been removed. Will have a look though and see.

Also, the manifold has been heat wrapped, so the under bonnet temps will be reduced quite a bit, in theory anyway.lol.
