I was curious what the difference is between the HKS with the green filters, and the more expensive (490$) RS or JDM HKS intake with polished pipes and yellow filters?? Besides appearence is there any performance difference? Are you happy with this intake? Can I utilize a custom heat shield so it uses colder air?

 

The Racing Suction comes with polished alum/SS piping, the normal kit reuses the stock flexible intake piping. Probably little difference other than that.

If you are going to go through all the trouble of trying to fab up some kind of heat shield, why don't you just buy a box-style intake in the first place?

 

i have both the smf and rs intake hooked up together and they're awesome

 

i have the rs intake..really noticed a big dirrerencve over stock. lotz of fun..if u r still stock on the exhaust side of the house.. the moo is kinda fun too...get funny looks from people..lol
def worth the 450

 

Thanks I have been trying to decide between HKS and Apexi intake for like 2 damn months. Its driving me crazy why cant I decide PPPLEEASEEE someone who owned both tell me which one to get! LOL Everyone tells me somethin different on pro's and con's. I like HKS because thats my brand and my dp and exhuast is too. However Apexi has a better filter and makes alittle more hp. I am very picky.. : )

 

The good thing about the HKS RS is that it turns out instead of in. It will help when trying to clear larger SMIC's or FMIC piping.

You can always just to hard pipes and K&N filters. It will be just as effective as all the rest.

 

I dont think performance wise there is a difference between the RS and super mega flow im almost 100 percent sure.

 

The RS looks sweet. It matches my car.

 

i had to use one of the SMF pipes with the RS to clear my scoot hood lol

 

K&N filters worked just fine for me although ill be looking into some aftermarket intakes in the future
