Default which intake should i get?

just wondering which intake you guys think is the best for the S2000. I generally thinking about this in overall quality and bang for buck? I was just thinkin about gettting the spoon air duct but i dont know if i want to spend 450 and not benefit from it. your thoughts welcome..... what would you do

1. Mugen intake
2. spoon duct
3. gruppe m intake
4. aem intake or injen
5. hks super suction intake
6. comtech
7. none (slap a turbo on the car)

You are really not going to notice much difference at all with an intake. The AEM is affordable and offers gains. As do a few of the others but the return per dollar on alot of these is extremely low. I got a good deal on my J's intake I notice a slight difference and I love the way it looks.

The way I approached this choice was by thinking about what other airflow mods I wanted... If I were going with a higher end exhaust and header I would want a complimentary intake. If I wanted to ball on a budget I would go with the comptech or AEM. Eitherway you can save a bundle by buying used on the boards.

I know this is probably a stupid question but.....Does it void your factory warrantary fitting an Intake kit?

no, aftermarket intakes dont void warrenty.. the only thing that may cause an issue is if something goes wrong with your car, then Honda tries to blame your intake on the problem... which ususally isnt true, IMO...
intake, headers, exhaust are all mods you can do without worrying about voiding warrenty, as well as many more
