twin intakes?

[loser_635]

Hey,

I was on teh eBay a few minutes ago and found this

eBay Motors: TOYOTA MR2 MRS MR-2 SUPRA ECHO 3"TWIN AIR INTAKE FILTER (item 160204813933 end time Feb-08-08 15:11:34 PST)

this one looks alot cooler and of much better quality than this one

eBay Motors: TWIN POWER INTAKE WITH PAIR FILTER HONDA INTEGRA CIVIC (item 130194323801 end time Feb-03-08 16:00:04 PST)

anybody ever seen these?

They look pretty cool especially the first one,but im pretty sure that two filters instead of one could make much of a difference....or could it?

and yes I searched also sorry if I posted this in teh wrong place

aside from finding where to fit it in your engine bay... i dont think its really needed.

what i think would be cool is to have one filter in the bay and route the other down CAI status...
but then again i dont think it would be effective, most air would come from the closest, thus less restrictive path.

this mod is more bling than anything...

Using an HKS style filter, the duals might actually do something since they are somewhat restrictive. On a decent sized K&N, totally worthless. Plus the HKS style foam filters let
in so much debris its unbelievable.

What you have there is an example of what we call "dopey crap". Stick with a single K&N (or, rip-off) cone or cannister. Or, any of the many (K&N, Air Hogs) replacement high-flow elements.

dont buy knock off brand air filters off ebay. they're junk, i know from experience. they fall apart they're not worth the money.

Thats not entirely true. Ebay does have some junk, but I have had nothing but good luck with intakes. When most of them are onder $15, you're not "wasting" that much money anyways. You get what you pay for.

As for the twin intake setup though, definately pointless.
