the ebay ones work well, trust me i have one. All you have to do is buy an ebay sri and then buy a AEM Dryflow filter (50 bucks) and switch it for the ebay one. So you'll looking to spend like 90 bucks but its worth it and the performance is the same. After all an AEM SRI is made out of the same material as an ebay cheap-0. The most important part of an SRI is the filter. Tubing is tubing and piping is piping, don't go spending the extra 200 bucks on the same type of metal just cuz its brand name.

 

Lol, sorry I love the DX, I just love an SI more, lol, but I can't afford one for at least another year, so I have to make this one look the best I can.

It already turns heads around here, there are a few nice civics, some of them airbaged and covered with neon, but after I get my rims, mine will be fairly nice for this area. My goal is to have a tight little semi good looking machine that is cheap on gas and fun to drive.

 

yea just search around for strut bars like ej dude. Somebody on here has a DC strut bar that fits arund aftermarekt intakes, i actually ran into the same problem as u (i have a 99 DX), and my intake actually rubs on my strut bar a little bit but i htink i'm alright.

but definately a y8 or z6 Intake Manifold is your best bet. More horses, easier to deal with, and no strut bar problems

 

i agree with the y8 intake mani i put one on my 97 lx and it makes a diff in power u can feel from 5k to redline that i noticed

 

im telling you, pull a manifold off a wrecked car in a junk yard. You'll gain power, and be able to use any intake you want.

 

^ the only problem is that EVERYONE wnats one for their y7 so they're either bought within anhour of them being posted of their prices so sky high. Or their just not for sale at all [&:]
