    They are a company from the Philippines. There are a few people on here that seem to have gotten parts from them or know the company personally (thinking of MPH people).

    Yea if someone can shed some light? It will only cost me $500 for the ibtake and header.

    Still dont know about the unichip. Does it come with a tune on it? Or will i have to go to a dyno?

    The intake will do you no justice. There's no mount for the maf sensor.

    Oh ya? Well there goes that thought. Lol

    And im kinda guessing that just the header is kibda worthless by itself.

    A good intake actually takes in fresh air from the outside... Not the ambient HOT air that's under the hood. Other than a "free flowing" tube and filter, I don't see much with the SL intake.

    I have not seen the header of the mirage and can't tell if it's worth replacing. I can tell you that a good intake, full exhaust, and tune all together will yield best results.

    I may just decide to wait it out and see what becomes available.

    If the intake is metal it would be nothing for me to weld on a bung for the sensors required....

    But for $500....im not sure if i want to take that jump....id like my suspension stuff first.

    If i get some more o.t. ill consider it.

    Definitely agree on suspension first.

    Maybe the companies would realize that a small HP bump for us would really help and develop some good stuff.




    IMO, cars with double/triple our HP don't really "feel" the difference of 10-20hp. But I bet we would.

    The problem with the MAF sensor is they're very finicky and companies spend a lot of time figuring out how to trick the sensor into not thinking something's wrong.

    Most DIY air intake kits on MAF cars result in MILs.
