^ That's actually a pretty solid answer. This is one of the reasons why we find blogs to be important. Because it allows us a good medium to communicate to enthusiast about a product. Obviously some are more educated than others and vice versa so we do our best to write in a nice and simple easy to read format that is still enjoyable.

Yeap. Btw in looking at your intake it interested me due that it takes cold air but at the same time it’s protected form water!! Do you guys have more data on your intake?

Did you check out the blogs on the intake? Full of info and explanation of how it works. It also seems that the product page was recently updated with a video

Lots of data there!!

I know 27Won did all the research and also mishimoto you can see the videos but haven’t seen nothing on PRL, Injen etc but power wise PRL seem the best

Not sure how you missed that but PRL did plenty of research, data, and real testing to back up their products, including the cobra. Might want to look into their specific forums and website

PRL has long threads that followed the R&D of all their products with extensive testing and commentary on their stuff. If you haven't seen it, just look around this forum. As far as asking the company that manufactures the products, of course they are going to tell you they are they best. look at the independent testing. Hondata did an intake test before PRL came out, once they tested the PRL it was hands down the intake to get. Ktuner Vit and our other tuners on this board have seen multiple logs from all the intakes on the market and so far the only one to nail the STFT and LTFT is the PRL. The 27Won obviously hasnt been available to test in the wild yet so we have no independent verification from them but that should be coming soon.

Here is the link with data and video for you to look at. Sounds like you are a lot like me and do you research before you spend your hard earned cash.

And they are working with Hondata to develop maps for the intake....27WON that is, the test on the PRL was an ethanol blend tune which not many will do....

my guess would be yes since they appeared to be working together on the Turbo. And hondata usually puts out basemaps for the various name brand intakes out on the market.

Yes but the PRL one was an E85 blend if I remember correctly......why not just a 91/93 pump gas one that most would use?

true but the fuel type wont affect the AFM so it will fuel correctly whether its 87 91 93 or e30

My wife and I have the exact same car save color. I installed the K&N kit and I definitely notice a huge difference across the entire acceleration curve. Driving her car without it feels suffocated. The "official" dyno results in a gain of around 3hp, which is quite noticeable. I also appreciate the improved growl on acceleration. High speed acceleration and passing is an even bigger difference.

This is on the 2.0NA, so you may or may not see any difference on the 1.5t without other mods.

Waiting for my Mishimoto intake to show up.

That I take is a joke. Dyno proven to add zero HP.

Hondata dyno tested it. You can find the vid on YouTube.

Send it back

This video? Dyno proven to add +3 HP......after 5000rpms. lol

I remember people clowning on this video a while back pointing out how they did the SRI tests with the hood closed, and the CAI tests with the intakes sticking directly into the fan's airflow.

Regardless, CAIs would still get the best performance gains over SRIs. If OP is trying to get max gains, then almost any CAI would do. PRL's Cobra would probably be the best at the moment since they're actively researching and developing on the 1.5T Civics.

Me, I'm rockin a Mishimoto just for the sound and factory look.
