Just look at the little picture (avatar) to the left of my post. Those two shiny S/S cones are Blitz (SUS) Filters.

I'll take photos of it tomorrow. The photo I attached earlier was taken a few months ago before I bought and modified the air duct.

yeah, im about to make a purchase on a new intake system.. i was thinking about either the apexi or the blitz, i really dont like the hks or greddy types..

currently, i have the greddy RE intake..

so what does the blitz system come with? just filters and elbow looking things for the crv, abv and air pump to connect to?

do you still have to use the rubber accordian looking tubes?

It also comes with a platform w/brackets to mount, for the Filters to rest on. You can use stock or aftermarket aluminum intake pipes.

o, but does it come with the alum pipes? or do you have to buy that separate?

and what about an ic duct, i know pfs sells them for 150 bucks and i know about the site where you can make your own but is there any other sites where you can get one for cheap?

Intake Pipes are not included with the system.

The kit consists of 2 S/S Mesh Filters, Primary and Secondary Turbo Intake Adapters (these are the parts that the Filters and the emission hoses connect to), Filter Platform and platform brackets.

Scroll up a few posts to the last photo I posted and you'll see the Platform i'm referring to. I covered mine with a thin sheet of aluminum. The Filtrs are resting on it.

I painted the Intake adapters red.

^^cool thanks

are you referring to the one for 169 buy it now for the slightly used one?? cause thats a good deal..

but im a freak when it comes to used/new items and i would only buy brand new items unless its a really rare/expensive part and i have to get a used one due to low funds but this intake, i rather spend another 150 and get it brand new..

call me an idiot i know..

I can't really blame you for being apprehensive.

The Filters can be cleaned by washing them in warm water with detergent. Then spray them with S/S cleaner and they'll look brand new. The adapters can be painted to look new as well.

The Filters alone are sold for over 120.00 EACH. I think it's a great deal. I wonder if the Platform comes with this set-up??

dude.buy the used ones.There really isnt anything to worry about.Its stainless steel mesh.Or would you rather spend 400 bucks for something you can have for 170? Also the hard pipe adapters they come with are aluminum.So if you know how to polish them they look really sweet.Thats what I did.Trust me and arexseven.Buy the used ones.Now some electronic parts I would be wary of.But it a intake.Its just cone filters and two pipes.Trust us.Save the money on the good deal.

yeah, im a real idiot.. i think i have all the money to spend when i can get these great used ones..

idk, i get to paranoid about buying used items...

but anyway, i was considering it but i emailed the guy asking him if the kit includes the platform and all the necessary hardware..or is it just the filters and intake adapters..

If it doesn't come with the Platform and you end up buying it, I'll send you the specs/meaurements via email, so you can make one.
