Anyone thinking or have installed this particular air intake system please be cautious.
I'm driving a Honda Fit RS mannual and had installed this product for about a year, went to track and used it for daily drive but to my horror recently I got my ride tuned at one of the reputable tuner in SG they found out my trottle body and intake system was choked and the filter was rusty. Cleaned the whole system and was advised to change to a new air intake system like K&N or HKS..so went to another shop and bought it which cost about 500+. The mentioned product almost cost me my engine. I can provide you with the details of the tuner and workshop I went for reference. My advise is to spend a little more on reputable brands rather than new ones as it will cost you more in the future. -------------------- The Power of Dreams! |

My belief is the only protection is the filter quality.
If the filter is lousy, then dirt And oil will clogged up the throttle and parts eventually. |

Put ALL the money you budget on this mod into buying 4D. You will get better returns. |

Anything else is bullcrap. My advice to you, don't bother modding your NA car. You will get negligible gains and any gains you get will become "normal" a few days later. And NA cars are extremely difficult to mod to get proper gains unless you go the illegal route of installing a turbocharger. If you have a turbocharged/supercharged car, yes, modding those will get you decent gains. -------------------- Cheers Ben |

It doesnt help at all. Its merely supposed to create a smaller version of a filtered intake to create more engine bay space.
