where did u get urs from? was there much of a power/sound differance? it says on the site its for a 2.0 Litre protege but mines only 1.8, idk if it matters or not =/

Rupe has the same injen for sale, check his for sale thread in his trader area.
Just had another looksie before, I have exactly the same intake as what you first posted up, the Simota twin charger CAI. Was originally fitted to a 1.8L, so it does fit.

from 2500-5500 you really feel it, and the roar it puts out is nice

Diztorsion · 14-07-2009, 05:03 PM

Yeah spoken to rupe bout it already

sounds better than gettin it shipped all the way from the u.s, i wanna lose the exhaust and get the cai in

marcs_sp20 · 14-07-2009, 05:28 PM

why not have both? sounds mean as, a rumble from one end, and a vacuum cleaner down the other

If you do get it, welcome to the hoover club

i think ive lost alot of power ever since i put the 2.5 exhaust on, also being an auto it doesnt sound right when it changes gears lol, but dont wanna go back to stock either

02-KQ-LASR · 14-07-2009, 05:54 PM

2.5 is massive on a 1.8 man.
i got 2 1/4 and thats about as big as youd go on a 1.6/1.8 an even some 2.0

Dion · 14-07-2009, 06:02 PM

super lows, pod filter, extractors, 2 1/4 exhaust, 17's and some tint just for the moment

I even think 2.25" is too big, I mean it gives some good gains, its the droniness in my system that bugs me... 2" would be optimal for a 1.8L auto, and NO CANNON!!!

02-KQ-LASR · 14-07-2009, 06:49 PM

i went for 2 1/4 because 2in is only a little bigger than stock. an i dont mind cannons.... personal taste though.

DavoAust · 14-07-2009, 07:14 PM

i *think* mine maybe 2.5", but its crush bent. Lost a little power low down, but high end picked up a lot.

I need to look at making a better CAI, ditch the standard airbox & piping for some SS and a nice pod up behind the bumper (out of engine bay = no problems

)

Dion · 14-07-2009, 08:35 PM

2 1/4 press bent ' should ' be ok on a stock 1.8 with extractors, pod filter and CAI. 2 1/2 you most likely gone a little large and lost a bit of low down torque but would have gained a little up top of the rev range.

what do people think?

just with the overall shape of the KQ laser, i prefer the first front kit, more boxy and suits the styling.

What's wrong with a big WRX scoop and an Evo IX rear wing.

02-KQ-LASR · 14-08-2009, 04:35 PM

i dont mind em tony.
but on some cars they sit funny and dont look right. they stick out heaps or something...

marcs_sp20 · 14-08-2009, 04:39 PM

bourbon · 14-08-2009, 07:25 PM
