mailman Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 ...so "no" on the factory 95-96 ej22 pipe? Unless a smooth silicone sleeve or something is inserted inside the ribs of the accordion? Originally Posted by Soul Shinobi http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/images/buttons/viewpost.gif There's an airflow advantage of the smooth metal pipe over the corrugated (ribbed) sections of stock plastic intake pipes. The tradeoff however, is that the system flexes less, which risks pipes popping off if you don't have enough flexible rubber or silicone connectors. No one has reported such issues however, it seems that the hybrid intake designs are sufficiently flexible, so I wouldn't worry. The stock design is basically just playing really safe, by adding a very flexible section at the cost of airflow. Does that answer your question? so...

Stevo F Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 In another thread (the one I started for the MSD coil upgrade) I was told this Weapon- R kit can be used and in place of the air filter, you can get an adapter to attach it to the stock airbox. I am thinking of doing this [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Weapon-R-306-113-101-Secret-Weapon-Intake/dp/B006T25A62/?tag=vglnkc6475-20]Weapon-R 306-113-101 Secret Weapon Intake System : Amazon.com : Automotive[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 There was a big long thread on Nasioc a few years back that had a pretty detailed study of the air velocities of different pipe designs comared to one another, on the 2.5RS, the FACTORY, OEM, ACCORDION-STYLE, 1995-1996 EJ22 J-PIPE INTAKE TUBE was the most effective at delivering air into the manifold.

I saw this 1st gen part on Ebay- would this work on our cars?
