$1,200 intake... WTF

I don't get it. Granted there aren't a whole lot of aftermarket parts for the 8th gen civic, but this is just retarded.

I wonder if it really works? Even if it did I can't see a reason for spending that kind of money. He had the sweep fluid reservoir sweat-bands though.

What a tool. $1200 would be a great start to k-pro and a turbo setup.

edit: nm kpro isn't available for the new ones and even then it's $1k+ :l

to bad air isn't really being forced into that thing. he sure did get shafted.


it would have been better if he pucked up from the grill.

Oh my dear god... They're successfully getting air from the sole place where the LEAST amount of air flows over the front half of the car.

well when you think about it, air does goe in there. the boundary layer plays its part in this, but its not fast moving air per say.its pretty much just there.
