H3 Alternative intake?

[spillKill]

Hey guys just wondering if there is anything else beside airdoc intakes that are worth taking a look at?
i had a crx when I was a little younger and had gotten an intake off eBay for around $30
is there any other intakes for other vehicles that would fit?
thanks
Also ITT: pics of ur intake!!:thumbs:

I don't think there's a better deal than the AirDoc. Other options include GM Performance Intake and I believe K&N has one. Note that I'm talking intake, and not simply a filter replacement like Airaid offers.

Yeah I'm talking the full intake system
Thanks

I have tried K&N but have since moved to Volant with airbox & a Donaldson filter.

I heard a lot about the AirDoc so I have since bought one (knowing it only fits the OEM). I cut one end to make it fit the Volant. I was concerned about the heat pickup on the AirDoc so I pulled it out & repainted it with ceramic heat paint, baked it & refitted.

I would look at intakes such as the Air Doc, GM Performance, or Volant that use the factory sealed air box or in the Volant's case has a replacement air box that is also sealed. The Air Doc is by far the cheapest option.

I can't speak for any of the others, but this is the k&n:

It went through a deep mud hole a couple of weeks ago in the video below - as in coming over the hood deep with no issues (though I wouldn't advise doing this without a sealed air box). I popped the hood immediately after to scope out what did / didn't get wet in the engine compartment and while my whole engine was pretty much coated with the muddy water, the air filter had no signs of water having splashed on it.

Not sure what the performance gain solo is, but combined with a PCMTune and Magnaflow exhaust, I saw a full tank go from lasting around 260 miles on average from full to empty to between 300 and 320 miles per tank with a noticeable performance gain (all together). This was also after I put the 35" tires on.

S+B filter

Had to cut the top filter holder off the OEM filterbox lid. I did allot of research and keeping the OEM Filter Box was the besy way to go...

Wow I really like that, I think I'm gonna just do that

You can measure up the volume in the filter box and the inlet in the box and buy a oiless filter from AEM or go AFE has a DrySyn that drops in place of the OEM.

I do like the end product here on the stock airbox. The K & N air box does extend such that it's flush with the hood with rubber seals except the part that bends away from the hood - so it's pretty much the same effect, but I'm all for breaking out a grinder / modifying existing components where you can to see a benefit that otherwise would cost $$ by purchasing retail components when the form / function is equal either way.

I like it. I don't regret my K&N purchase, but in conjunction with a performance filter and a modded intake tube, your setup looks just as good / functional if not more than mine. :cheers:

Whatever you get, make sure the filter is something besides a K&N or other oiled cotton filter.
