Just wondering on your opinions on this i kno its not quality but im broke as a joke.
do u think that intake will make me throw a CEL?
Also my friend bought a ebay intake and it doesnt even give the car any good sucking sound do you think this one will?

i have an ebayish SRI for the winter when it rains.. i swap it with my CAI.. the ebay SRi does it's job. i can feel a difference, granted it's not leaps and bounds, but you feel a difference and it still sounds good. it's your call to get it though, i would just gut the stock airbox. i think there's a DIY floating around here somewhere...

edit: as long as there's a port for the sensor it shouldn't throw a cell...

LOl Are u just looking for sound? You can get it then mate the ebay piping with a high quality filter (ie. K&N, AEM, Injen, etc...) and you got yourself a good intake.

This is the second thread of yours I've moved tonight.

1) post in the proper section (EP Discussion is for topics general to the car, be it gas mileage, etc. The technical sections are where one receives the most help for in depth queries)
2) try combining your questions into one post
3) search
4) welcome to ephatch

1) If you know it's a POS then wait and save until you can afford a good intake. Do it right the first time and you'll save money in the long run.

2) You're that concerned about not getting a sucking sound? Freakin ricer... :mrolleyes:

I think the OP is trying to say he would like his civic not to sound like a dustbuster! Anyhow, get a used intake off the classifieds here or do the ebay pipe with KN filter. Welcome to the hatch.

If I were you, I would just mod the stock airbox and until you can afford a cai (used = $vary, new = +$230ish)

welcome to ephatch where everyone is concerned about whats rice and whats not. if its not JDM it's rice to them so don't worry about what people think is rice and do what you think is nice.
