The part number is: 17210-RB0-000

$18.85 at Bernardiparts

Although, when I go to view it close-up they say no image but it looks like that part in the diagram. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Nice pics too, makes me want to try it myself.

k20a298ek this is the sh!t. Nice mod man. Any chance we can get a zoomed-out pic that shows more of the engine bay? I can't wait to do this too. Thanks for the post...

the t1r i felt dident do much to be honest. this set up you can feel the low and mid range torque. and it sound so deep. and you cant beat the price. you can also use the stock intakes coupler that pulls out of the top of the stock box , has a slight curve to it aswell. that will cut the cost even more.

the prm that u sold to me is pretty good imo. i don't feel a lot of difference because i don't rev the car. LOL. And when I rev it occasionally its too loud inside the car over 4K rpm that I don't know if its coming from the intake or the HKS axelback.

The intake doesn't sit like the 2nd PRM version because the tubing is longer since its modified from the first version, so I had to fit it lower, resting on the engine mount and the pile of cables.

Once you've got that MAF tube your imagination is the limit. you can use any filter, any plumbing, chrome pipes, whatever you want. You can add a heat shield and use a longer pipe to get it even further from the engine if that's your preference. I just don;t understand why honda went out its way to make this a pain in the ass for everyone. Every other car I've owned was much much easier to make custom intakes for because the MAF wasn't integrated into the silencer box. Either Honda is trying to tell us to stop ricing their cars or they are trying to stop us from wrecking them. (or they felt the stock airbox was so awsome no one would want to mod it?)

Anyway, mod is awesome because it frees up engine room for a huge marine battery.

Yes...I think you are right. #4 in the Diagram.


I might need to try this. I've got a AEM dry flow cone filter sitting in my garage begging to be used.
