Not too many parts are available for the Element so sometimes it requires you to be creative. Element intakes on ebay are like $190 and hard to find but RSX ones are only $25 and more readily available. I figured it couldn't be that different since K-series is K-series. Well it fit in as decently as a generic ebay intake can fit. I had to do a little customizing here and there to make it fit such rerouting some coolant lines and getting a large hose for the PCV system. But still only cost around $2 for the extra stuff. So $27 intake ain't too bad. The car doesn't really seem faster however it now easily can break loose the wheels where before I never got it to do that. I wonder if it added some torque to the wheels. I know K-series is fairly responsive.
