Care to back that up with something solid? I think your Mugen exhuast is really hindering your performance.
I've had the type s intake, and it definately does not give gains like a CAI. Have you had both in your car?
I admit that my mugen might not give the best gains but it's tone more than makes up for it.

Exactly, I was just offering an opinion. I hope your not contending that the type s gives More gains than a CAI, other than losing less torque down low? Plus, I believe there was a dyno plot back when this was h-a that showed that the type s gave 1 hp w/a k&n drop in.

I couldnt see that after seeing the TypeS and the OEM USDM box side by side. EVERYTHING about the TypeS made it seem better for power. I would be willing to bet a months pay that a K&N drop in with the factory airbox would make at very least 1 hp which would make the gains from the TypeS with K&N exactly zero.

It depends on what RPM range you look at.
Back to back dynos on my car with both intakes produced nearly identical #'s in VTEC, but 2-5lb-ft of extra torque below the x-over for the type-s intake.
Remember, that last bit of pipe on the type-s is the same size as the stock intake. If that, too were larger, there should be some upper-end hp gains.
I can provide dynojet runviewer files for all who want them. Dynojet has a program to veiw them for free on their website.

-CAI
-DC CC Header
-Factory exhaust piping
-Factory Cat
-Coolant bypass mod
-OBDII workaround
-AEM tru power pulleys
I don't get it, how come you gained before VTEC only and basically no VTEC gains....
I need help! I'm looking at a HKS stage 2 cams for my H22A in my Prelude but I know nothing about HKS cams are they any good has anyone own a pair run them?Help Please.
I don't even think HKS makes cams for a prelude or any honda engine... Don't they make parts for turbo cars?
BTW, you should probably start your own thread regarding this subject.

This was from January, before Honda had to replace my motor under warranty (even with my mods listed!) b/c of a spun rod bearing. Same mods except i fixed the "missing" parts in the graph, which were due to old spark plugs (honda dealership didnt change them at 60k service) that were way white b/c of the VAFC settings i was using from NTPOG for over a year. Also replaced the spark plug wires which also could have caused the gaps.
Mods at time of dyno:
AEM CAI
DC Header and Exhaust (got rid of the DTM "dirty" tips though)
Testpipe
ODB-2 Workaround Mod
Aem pullies
VAFC (baseline in graph was with settings from internet NTPOG i think, and the other is after tuning)
My 4th run was the best in terms of power, as it hit 181. something, but the final number dropped a little as i leaned out the final setting all the way the VAFC could go, and as you can see from the fuel/air ratio, it still wasnt enough!
BTW for all you doubters, my X over point is 4500 and as you can see i gained almost 10hp at the cross over from the other 4700 rpm point.
I GUESS thats it! Have a good one!
