S2000 INTAKE Versus OEM Air Box w’ mod- DYNO TEST

This is a 2005 S2000, 130k Miles, Stock header, After market exhaust.

We tested the Comptech Intake that was installed versus an OEM Intake with the AirBox mod. These tests were done back to back within 30 minutes of each other.
This S2000 will be on another video we call 'Silver Dancer' and will be sale after full maintenance and re conditioning is performed.

Life cycle of a Honda owner: Buy Honda, immediately buy aftermarket filter on a stick, throw away stock airbox. Eventually regret buying aftermarket filter on a stick, overpay to replace filter on a stick with a stock airbox from someone that wasn't stupid enough to throw it away. The end.

the S2000 has such a good desing, it looks good even more than 20 years later

my understanding is that Honda has always relied heavily on tuning with certain orders of resonance to provide a passive supercharging effect at higher RPM, which is why their OEM airboxes are tough to improve on. great info here on how to keep us from tossing money down the drain.

These are really my favorite videos from you guys. I know it can be a pain, but I'd love to see more as you get some spare time and get parts to test. Either way, thanks for doing this!

I did the airbox mod because of you. Can’t wait to watch this video till the end and find out

Only 1 reason you change the intake on an S2000 - the noise 😍

Just did a bunch of testing last week on my f22 with stock header and airbox with the mod and two 3” air ducts from front bumper into the airbox. It made 231 wheel. Picked up 5 whp going back to stock airbox with the air ducts. Also using the stock air filter. S2000 love the stock airbox and header. Pretty much everything is worthless unless you throw boost at it.

After owning my ‘01 for about a year I threw a K&N FIPK on it. Maybe 6 months later saw your video on the air box mod. Sold the FIPK and went with the mod + K&N filter. Glad to see the numbers support that decision. Thanks for the info.

The stock box has an air inlet, and with that hood open and fan blowing at it it’s getting direct air feed. So it’s bound to make more power than a CT intake which doesn’t take advantage of the dyno run with the hood open. Imo it should’ve been tested with the hood closed to mimic exactly what it’ll be like on the street when you actually drive the car. Also, to be more fair.

thats why ur tests are the best there is no sales or $ involved luv it!

I've left the factory box on my 08 CR Delete since new. They work better than any nonsense in the aftermarket, and this run proves it.

I did a very clean airbox mod to my s2000 after watching your video. This is so cool to see the power it can help produce.

[marcperras]

Thanks to your videos I am keeping the stock air box. I will do the recommended modification over the winter. I look forward to seeing content on your silver S2000.

Only mod mine has is the Comptech drop in filter and airbox mod. So much reliable power. Love these videos.

On my del sol(stolen last montth) i had most mods on suspension. Only power train mods i had was an aftermarket header, lightweight flywheel, stage 2 clutch, and a duct that ran from under the stock filter box to the front bumper with a baby velocity stack at the end but still inside the bumper in hopes of not hydrolocking if it rained.
I gotta say that was some low cost power and acceleration unlocked. I had nothing out the dig and it topped out at 120mph sure, but that little power off a dseries was much more accessible. Honda knows what its doing just follow their drift

Resonator does do something. It's designed to smooth out pulses coming back from the exhaust valves at each piston stroke allowing better flow. Reason why a lot of after market fancy tubes and pod filters actually loose power

These comparison videos are awesome! Thank you

[dsmubz]

That's awesome, that's why I left the stock air box on my c7 z06, it's not a restriction and it's getting nice cold air from the fender, no need for 5 inch intake pipes with big filters exposed to all the engine bay heat.

Love the testing info. Thanks my friend.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

THANK YOU - I kept my airbox mod thanks to you!
