Chambered Intakes???

A hard decision but I respect all of you members input on this, what do you think is the best "chambered intake" out there for overall performance and fit? Any experience good or bad would be greatly appreciated! Just trying to make the best decision I can.

put the money you would spend on an intake into your car payment. an intake wont give you anything but sound. the butt dyno lies

he's right. I have a Last Station Powerbox. It sounds mean when you stomp on it, but that's all I notice. It'll be nicer when I get skunk2 exhaust eventually though

not too sure if it makes power, but i like it
i think the mishimoto is the best chambered intake for the price

it's going to cost you around $1200 to get 10Whp out of the fit. for $1200 you can get some nice coil-overs and some good sticky tires and you'll notice it a whole lot more.

if you want the intake noise, buy a $50 ebay intake nd replace filter with an AEM dryflow.

^^ Bad idea if your gonna do that lmao. One of the members here has one and that thing is a hidious design. Mounting points are retarded and will crack on you. Do the DIY intake and call it a day. I'll be getting the PRM intake whenever it ships and i just want to try it out. I was gonna go for the T1R intake but i wanted to get something different.

so chambered intakes aren't worth it unless you want a little more sound under the hood???...that sucks. so many fit owners around here have the Supa-sucka intake (dumb name) and claim to really feel a difference, actually...all of the chambered intakes have received positive feedback. well that blows, i dont own one...i dropped in a Mugen Drop-In filter, took off the muffler, and plan on buying a T1R header in the future...then maybe some lightweight rims, nice tires...and that will probably it, from there ill just enjoy it for what it is.
