I dropped off my car at Injen today for them to test fit their prototype intake, and i should have it back by friday!
The guy said he will have the dyno numbers also.

 

That's awesome news. I always thought injen made great products so I may consider selling my Taekda to get this one. Is the prototype a short ram or cold air? I kind of like how my takeda can change over to both.

 

I actually have no idea. I was so happy at the thought of getting a free intake i forgot to ask lol. But they promised me my car back on friday, and they said they would have dyno sheets ready also.

 

The guy i talked to also said that they "may be" making an exhaust also, but it has not been finalized.

 

I will email them tomorrow morning about it.
and for some reason i cannot edit my own post, hmmmmm.

 

I got my car back from Injen today.
The prototype fitting went good, and my car made an additional 13whp. They are going to email me detail pictures + dyno sheets sometime next week.
It will go in production within a month from now (I was told that it could be as soon as 3 weeks).
It is a "link" intake that you can switch between short ram and cold air.
The CAI sits right behind the driver side foglight, and right above the undertray (plastic thing underneath the front bumper).
Here is a picture i took with my phone:

 

This is going to be great! I'm excited.

 

great news! im stoked to hear some sound clips and dyno charts.

 

so that thing replaces the stock air filter? what are some of the pros and cons too that?...I just bought a new OEM filter will it still be used?

 

i doubt that we'll be getting sound clips anytime soon since i forgot to record any.
But i did hear it in person, and it sounded like......... a nice deep V6 rumble.

 

this replaces the stock intake (thetube, box, filter, and everything else associated with it stock intake.)
Pros: you make additional power from intakes because it isn't as restrictive as the stock.
Con: you are going to like the sound it makes when you go wide open throttle, so MPG will go down lol.
And no you will not be able to use the stock filter.

 

Congrats Mike! It's always a good thing to be the test mule and get the freebies. =)

 

Nice! Any idea when this will be released?

 

sounds good

 

haha yup! im a broke college student so anything free is good!

 

I was told that the owner wants this intake out ASAP, and that it could be out in as soon as 3 weeks ( no promises here, but they said no later than 1 month from now).

 

I know, im excited too!

 

a deep v6 rubmle? i likeeeeee the song of that!

 

WOW! If next month release was true, then we have CTE and Injen releasing at the same time! Which one should I go for? hmmmm

 

This is definitely going to give me something to think about.

 

At the 2000 SEMA show, Injen was still a little rough, but had promise. IMHO, any quality product that can save me from putting $1 in AEM's account is good news.

I'm still going to wait for the icebox, but any development of new products is good for all of us.

 

wow...

 

are u gonna keep it as short ram or cold air?

 

I'm going to keep it as cold air since it rarely rains in so cal. if it rains hard like today then ill take my other car out.

 

haha good call. today's rain was pretty crazyy, dont want ur cold air sucking up the water

 

finally Injen is coming out with one. Had an Injen CAI for my old TSX, sister drives it and 40K miles after, it still runs great. Had a CAI set up, but later on switched it to SRI because of Florida's many showers

 

I've got a better picture of the intake + the dyno chart for you all!

 

those are some pretty results for a CAI. I remember with the 1st gen tsx that there were very minimal gains. If I remember correctly only about +5hp. I wonder if it is because of how the 2nd gen is tuned. thanks for posting the pic!

 

No problem!

 

any way you can get a video up so we can hear it??

 

thats gonna have to wait until i go back in approx. 2 to 3 weeks...........
since my dumbass forgot to record a video of it last week when the prototype was in my car. heh sorry guys

 

hey man, thanks for the chart! any chance to do a dyno when installed as SRI?

 

I was told that the SRI makes the same power as the CAI. However, with the SRI, power drops flat after 6600 RPM.

 

^^^ cool! Cant wait for the video/sound clip, oh and the price n release date :p

 

I'm sure that you mentioned this before but is your car a automatic or manual?

 

CU2Mike, what other mods do you have on your car? Pretty impressive gains for just an intake.

 

i have 0 performance mods, only cosmetics.
oh, and there is no reason why this intake wouldnt fit/work with a 6mt.

 

That is a nice gain all the way across the rpm band.

 

Are you sure this is dyno for intake alone? No Flash?
I think it's too good to be true. Plus how could intake make VTEC to life valve early? That's almost 50rpm difference.

 

I'm positive there was no flash, so yes thats intake only.
i guess we'll just have to wait until i get the intake and do an independent dyno elsewhere.
