lol johnny, all comes down to your choice

Injen & GruppeM make similar gains so it really comes down to what your after...
If you like the C/F look then go for GruppeM, if you like the polished piping look then get an INJEN =)

I vote for NO!!

IMHO, save the $$ and spend on the suspension or a better car -> TypeS.

I have a 06' Lux auto, has Mugen Intake, full JDM DC5R header to catback exhaust system, TEIN SS and never satisfied with the performance.

Regardless how much money you spend on the car, all the power will just be wasted at the AUTOMATIC Transmission, the power will never make to the wheel. You will probably hear a louder induction noise, but spend nearly a grand on some noise isn't really worth it...

There are couple of old auto owners here (TofuR still around?) will tell you the same story. Don't waste money on the performance mod, get a good suspension and just drive slow... until you get a better car.

If you are in SYD, I can take you for a spin in my car to give an idea of what the performance is like.

hey, I'm the guy with the auto DC5 and has now bought a TypeS and if you can, spend it on the suspension for sure!

Coilovers, rear sway bar, strut bars.
Highly recommend the rear sway bar.
