DC is a reputable brand. I've seen them on many integras.

Yes there good. Haven't had a issue with mine yet, but its hard to have a issue with a CAI since they all do the same thing.

Go for it.

No sense in spending 2 or 300 on an intake when they all do the same thing? The build quality of the DC seems great. I like mine, They sound great under WOT

Does the intake give you the ability to materialize your will? Or maybe give you cool gadgets and fight crime!

I use it. Half price of other brands and does great. Personally I think it's better than AEM, at least it sounds better. Not a fan of the AEM intakes...

That one is $134 + $15 for shipping.

I thought this was the best deal around for $126.42 Shipped.
