K&N intake for Si

[17siturb0]

Also looks like a much better heat shield set up than all the other SRI's, looks to enclose the filter much better. The one for the regular 1.5t looks the same but a composite tube which may be better than metal for heat soak

Maybe this intake and other short rams will have a better chance in gaining power if you used a good role of that gold reflective tape. Around the intake system and on it. The filter does look nice.

Is that gold reflective tape to ward off evil "heat soak" spirits?

Definitely want to see some numbers as well. I've always loved the sound of a K&N intake.

They use my car to make the intake

People get lucky all the time and i wish my car could be a research car lol

I'm wondering if this is better than prl

No, the PRL Cobra is a cold air intake, it will murder any SRI.

Curious for the outcome, things I notice, MAF is relocated, bend in the intake tube, restrict the air flow. Their intakes for the past generation civics, sucked. Made less power then stock.

I cant imagine relocating the MAF like that and then adding a massive bend will help it make power. Hopefully they at least left it the same size. Even my AF Dynamic with a tiny bend and close to stock MAF placement threw off the fuel trims.

Ok riddle me this then how does a slight bend in the K&N filter apparently be much worse the pin the PRL CAI which has many bends and looks crunched in one part??

The K&N in this thread:

Air velocity plays a big role, in which Prl tested throughly. It’s also silicon vs metal tube, K&N intake isn’t a CAI. There’s many factors why ones superior over the other.

The K&N in this thread:

BC the PRL has the MAF housing at the stock placement and position, all the bends on the PRL are pre MAF, all the bends on the K&N are after the MAF.

There is a simple explanation for all of this. PRL CAI- designed to maximize airflow into the engine by utilizing research and testing. K&N SRI- designed to fit in the engine, look good, and make the loud whoosh noise when you romp on it.....oh yeah and sell you replacement air filters

 

[dallasjhawk]

We can ask PRL since they do R&D, Hey @PRL Motorsports is putting the maf sideways and out of stock placement and before the bends a good or bad thing?

 

[KTuner]

Do you have either tuning system or a general OBD2 dongle so you can datalog and see how far off fuel trims are?

Ktuner with the correct question for this situation!!!!! Ill tag @562Si so maybe he will know you were asking him!

Thanks Dallas now that makes sense to me. I have been really leaning towards the PRL CAI but thought the K&N looked like a quality piece also. I sure would like to see the dyno numbers on the K&N since we have time before the PRL ships anyway.

This is totally a guess, but my cheap brand AF Dynamic Amazon knock off is $169. The injen SRI sits at $220 range. K&N is very proud of their stuff, their old Typhoon SRI were in the $320 range so itll probably be there. At that point Id get the PRL bc we know its tested and true and is presale for $319. Injen threw some dumb dyno numbers out that were debunked almost immediately for the 10th gen. Id be wary if K&N numbers too. Basically, IF you are going to get an intake and are already considering the PRL, I wouldnt sit and wait, the presale at $319 is a steal since regular price once they ship will be $400
