M&M Honda Intake?


First time seeing it, I really like it, the concept is very simple and functional.

For the price is ok.

What I don't like is that the tube is way to big for my taste, this may affect throttle response, I'll have to see a video of a installed one.

Also what i HATE is the position of the tube that sucks cold air, your sucking air not directly , the motor is sucking air side ways, that doesn't seem right to me:

This design might be because they focus on a daily driven car and maybe because no one will make a "hole" on their bumper to install this intake.

This photo is of a m&m intake installed on a eg6, the ek9 fitments should be the same, in my personal opinion, you will drive more cold air to your motor but your throttle response might be affected and I doubt that this sucks a lot of air in because of the design.

Why do I argue about the tube size? because I made a "long" duct for my ek9, and because of the sucking tube being to large, my throttle response was not working as I wanted, and I remove it and made another cold air duct system, which is smaller in size, and the tube was sucking cold air right in front the car.

Photos of my ek9 duct that didn't worked, I had to replace because of my throttle response was HIGHLY affected:

This intake having the sucking tube too large + sucking air side ways hmmmmmm it doesn't convince me and I will not buy it.

In conclusion, I will save some money and wait for a Mugen one, but it's your money and your decision.

yeah interesting comments on there RVM, I haven't heard this before, so from your first hand experience the tubing size can drastically affect the response? (so meaning the airflow?)

*Edit* did you mean the Length of the pipe? not the diameter?


yeah from the picture it does look like it works, maybe if you position the pipe into a more say directly facing forward, would you think it is still a worthy purchase?

when we comment on the air tubing, it gets quite scientific, so when i think about mugen intake...is it really that good? as in has it really been design to be that exact dimension to have optimum flow?

Yep I ment the pipe length :nice:

Yes I think this intake is a better intake than the stock one :woot:


Mugen is one of the best, but if it's out of your budget you can have other options like this one :)
 
The tube going to the filter should be as large and unrestrictive as possible. If it is small in diameter and is made of that dryer vent material, its going to restrict air flow to the filter. The longer the tube is the more restrictive it is to throttle response and air flow as well.
RVM thats why the throttle response was bad with the long tube. Also, this intake is made from that same dryer vent material so it can be mounted anywhere, and cut to any length.

So do I think this intake is worth the money? No. Like I said the tube going to the filter is small and restrictive, and there is only a small opening from the tube to the filter. If you look at the comptech or mugen, its hardly a tube going to the filter, its more of an extended airbox. This MM intake also doesn't incorporate velocity stacks.
One could easily build a better intake using a the stock airbox, a high flow panel filter, some smooth tubing, and maybe some fiber glass work. It would be much cheaper.
 
I agree with RVM, and if you want a cheap one get the top fuel intake, great for the money.
 
nice reply guys, yes the picture does look like the cone filter is vey narrow and the carbon housing is too.

I wasn't really going get it but just came across it, and thought might be a good discussion.

Stock airbox mod seems to be the best thing to do for lil money.
