intakes and more intakes...help me out

[halik]

alright i guess the spectrum start on ebay with 20-30 buck no name intakes, then theres the normal k&n cone, then k&n fips kit and then there injen. Also available with as a combo with injen BOV.

Heres a summary with prices:
$30 - no name intake with adapter
$70 k&n cone with adapter
$120 k&n FIPS
$200 injen intake
$235 injen intake with injen BOV

What would you recommend for the best bang/buck ratio?

Don't forget to look at http://www.dejontool.com/ they have some really nice intakes and they are reasonably priced.

I don't think they make Injen blow off valves.... or is it a new product???

well i saw it on ebay,
if you go to ebaymotors and search for eclipse injen, youll find it (theres only like 3 items)

I am not sure about the rest of those on your list, but I have used the K&N and I am very satisfied with it. I purchased it originally in 96 when I bought my first GST and still have it in my 99! Still works like new.

I have a question about the Injen intake, since he mentioned it in his original post; I've currently got a K&N FIPK, and I've been wanting the Injen intake pipe to replace the stock accordian-style pipe, but for some reason I remember seeing somewhere that the Injen intake pipe won't fit behind the MAS and K&N, and that I'd need a shorter filter to get everything wedged in there.

Any truth to that, or is my memory playing tricks on me? I love the look of the Injen intake pipe (although I'd be happy with any mirror-finished intake like that from someone else), but there's no way I'm giving up my K&N. ;-)

On a related note, does anyone have suggestions on finding decent-looking caps for the nipples left behind on the intake by a manual boost controller? I've fashioned a ghetto solution for now, but I'm not exactly thrilled with it. ;-)

the part on K&N not working with Injen pipe is correct..I havent tried myself but you are correct as far as it says so in the ads for the Injen.

DSM Performance also has intake pipes, but I think theirs are powder-coated. And doesn't Phantom Roadworks have intakes too? I got the Dejon one and like it.
