I have heard a lot if bad things about that intake mate, heat soak, flat spots etc etc

 

wouldnt agree with this comment. As they are highly tested. Any induction kit can have flat spots and you should get whatever one you pick tuned.

BTW that ebay one you post mate is that not a diff model???
heres one specifically for the TYPE S engine
Injen Cold Air Intake Honda Civic FK2/FN1 1,8l 140PS | eBay UK

 

I'm running the injen for the fn2, tdi north tested on my car! It defo needs mapping, but other than that it's all good. I went back a couple of weeks later and was asking about the mugen, paul said to me this kit is just as good or better than that for gains!

 

Did he then!!!!

 

Yea but its for his 1.8 cts..how different is it?

 

*that* is good reason.
However, many people will falsely say 'because it can suck in more air'

 

quotation marks FTW

 

cheers for the info, really want to go and buy it now its abit prizey
