The best mod is the oem intake with a minor box modification and K&N filter - if you threw away your stock box - so sorry. Honda engineers know what they are doing... LHT performance channel for all S2000 content.
The K&N FIPK kit is made of Injection Molded Plastic... It's "heat shield" isn't very effective at all either. The AFE, Mugen, Password, and Stock intake are the only ones worth using as heat soak happens quick with others or the others don't draw in cooler air. One big plus of a ASM Intake Arm for 00-05 cars is the IAT relocation which will read IATs at the intake arm not the intake manifold resulting in more consistent temps with less heat soak.
For anyone trying to make more power out of your S2000 an intake alone is going to give you very minimal gains. When I say minimal I mean you might gain 2-3hp. I’ve found that they definitely do give a nicer induction noise and throttle response but they aren’t much for power. Trying to make power out of an S2000 without serious mods is next to impossible. Even a full headerback exhaust I’ve felt a small gain in mid range torque. If your goal is to make power just go with a supercharger kit, it’s not a cheap thing between the kit, ecu tune, and all the extras that came with it but these cars don’t make power easily. If you’re buying an intake just buy the one that fits your budget or that looks the best for you. I currently have the FIPK but plan on switching to the Comptech as it looks nicer and is still carb legal here in California.
is the comptech icebox intake even still available? I had one years ago and just bought an S2000 and can't find them anywhere. I wish I could find a mugen intake instock
I’ve got the ARC super induction box and while forums will say it is extremely prone to heat soak, but nothing serious that’ll cause damage. It looks amazing anyways
Best intake is the oem with the airbox MOD
Do exhaust series if you haven't yet! Great video. Love that you were able to put test sounds.

Thanks for the info!
The AFE Takeda looks like the best of the bunch
Whilst I do have the K&n FIPK I’m seriously considering going back to stick with the LHT air ox mod.
I was thinking the same thing. The sound is amazing but it definitely suffers from heat soak on those really hot days.

K&N Fipk in addition to test pipe and feel good improvement. Not only sound but response too.
I'm still debating on weither i go with the AFE or maybe an old ARC

I was expecting tests irl.
Best intake.... custom built!
CT intake not on the list...
OMG you forgot PRM intake, designed by a musician
We only include intakes that are available on our site, but this one sounds super interesting!
