Password JDM Carbon Fiber Intake

[Dana]

So, I'm thinking of getting this intake from the Gillman Honda Dealer near my house. I'm not sure yet though.

What do you guys think? The parts guy at Gillman said it should fit on my CR-V. They want $160 for it.

Made of aerospace quality carbon fiber, the Password:JDM Carbon Fiber Power Chamber Intake surpasses any other intake on the market in quality, and in performance. Our intake is dyno proven to make 6.5 WHP and 7.4 FTQ on a nearly stock B16A engine! Manufactured here in the USA, the Power Chamber is constructed of the finest carbon fiber, and filter elements currently available on the market. The Power Chamber Intake comes complete with all mounting hardware required to install on any DC Integra (Non-ABS), EG, and EK Civic chassis.

Using a unique flared intake tube design, the Power Chamber is able to deliver noticeable gains across the entire power band. This intake gives you the best of both worlds. The security of knowing you are at no risk of hydro-lock, the power delivery that most cold air intake systems can only dream of, and the unmatched style of a genuinely unique intake system.

Through integration of form and function, the Power Chamber will make a bold statement about you and your vehicle. Spectators all around will notice your fine taste in performance products, and will envy your engine bay's unique styling!

Check out the dyno sheet to compare a stock intake box vs. a Password:JDM Power Chamber Intake.

Dyno testing was preformed at Pro Street Import (www.ProStreetImport.com) on December 14, 2004. The vehicle used for testing was a '99 Civic with a B16 engine. The only modifications made to this motor are a DC ceramic coated header, and a 2.5 inch cat back exhaust.

You WILL notice more noise. HP is debatable. Note that they say it made more HP on a "slightly modified B16".

A little "bling" factor there for sure (especially over stock). If you can afford it I say try it. Try to get it dyno'd before & after though to see if the $160 (& busted up fingers while putting it on) is worth it.
As 2RedVs said, you should hear more engine noise, although (since it is CF & if it is totally CF), not as much as with an aluminum tubing. The only thing that raises issues with me is how the tube slims up towards the rear. I wonder how much excessive air you get from the filter will willfully make its way through that bottle neck.....
But hey, if you can part with $160 for a few HP, I say do it & let us all know how well it does (or doesn't) work
Also, check your before & after MPG for a while to see if it helps with that as well.
Good luck

I know these things sell for like $229 on the password jdm website. A parts guy at the Honda dealer here in Houston gives members of a Houston forum at discount.

I know I'm going to hear more engine noise, but yeah the 'bling' factor is really nice. I better start saving now. I would have been able to get it like today or tomorrow, but I broke my nose on Saturday (no health insurance, I'm a student) and I have some doctor bills to pay. :(

I should be able to get it by the end of August. Hope so anyway.

When I get it I'll post all the details, etc.

I'm actually a sis. LOL!:D We went fishing and it started pouring down raining so we made a mad dash to the car, I slid on some mud and fell flat on my face. It really, really hurt, but I was lucky and I won't have to have any surgery.

My nose still looks the same! I got lucky, but it still hurts.
