i know everco, sunway can do custom made extractor.

everco mostly do for sotck cars, heck my replacement piping system is made by them, so far so good, as its following the stock design, i can only mention durability, and 6 months down the road with no sign of rust (steel)

the extractor is the most sensitive part in the engines breathing system. i wouldnt recommend ANY custom extractors no matter what they say. this is because if its wrong then ull end up with crappy power and be disappointed. stay away from them man...seriously. i would only recommend performance brands extractors or stock extractors... thats it.

as for the air filters... heres the thing....

open pod's advantage is that it sucks more air coz its open and able to suck from all over the place around it. while replacement elements in an airbox is restricted suction because it sucks air from one source which is the hose..

best solution would be to combine both... get an open pod, make a custom air box for it... and shove in many many many many (mebbe 2 or 3 big ones la) hoses into the air box from the front..... this should give massive amounts of air....and more importantly...massive amounts of COLD air.

that's crazy for its too elaborate and time consuming and makes your engine bay messy with all the hoses. open pod + heatshield + naca duct on the hood. simpler, right?

@kev da man
simpler yes, but heatshields only reduces the amount of hot air being sucked in...

the way i stated will ensure ONLY cold air is being sucked in. or at least whatever the air temp is outside. time consuming? errr...depends on how elaborate u make the box. u could always use those chrome windscreen sunshade thingies to make a heatshield + airbox (2 in 1) with those hoses. as for how messy it is...depends on the car actually...placement of airfilter, where to direct the hose etc etc

that's where the duct comes in lar..... unless you're driving a carbie then i dotn see why the hot air keeps getting sucked by the intake, unless you're at a standstill.

4 -1 if not mistaken. better top end power for the vtec

dont forget you need to measure the CFM of air when your engine is at its peak, if you dont want to lose horses.

cfm meter perhaps? dont know how to 'actually' do that, but i could tell the theory behind that.

It's not about the exhaust being restrictive. This is a common mistake among people, back pressure doesnt contribute into producing more torque.

Actually, smaller exhausts leads to a faster exhaust gas speed(Bernoulli principle). When the exhaust is traveling out, it leaves a pocket of vacuum behind it. This pocket of vacuum makes it easier for the next pulse of exhaust gas to go out(less restriction). But this only works if the gases are in pulses(like in lo revs). As the gas moves out in a stream(higher revs), its useless so bigger exhausts produce more power.
Just as an example, have you ever thought why exhaust pipes of a bus is small?

not small la, my schoolbus driver uses 3" pipings straight from the manifold laugh.gif

IMHO exhaust pipes are bent in a way so as to give better driveability at low revs <3k

bus of coz la... their engine so high displacement... duh~!!!

exhaust pipes are bent in certain ways to induce backpressure... so u can feel abit more torque at low revs... but too much backpressure will cause restriction and will decrease horsepower....

actually im reply to tunertoobe when he was stating that bus exhausts are small la laugh.gif

hammy = from what i know those gizmos will make your AF ratio leaner, hence, the percieved power, but on highly tuned cars, i dont think they would work since tuned cards would have the leanest ratio in the 1st place.

and on the subject on whether AF is stoich, you'll need to consult a meter or SAFC for yourself tongue.gif
