Now that I know of some decent places to go online besides ebaymotors(don't laugh I've gotten great deals on stuff like: ignited tach and recently aebs intake mani.) I've noticed places such as passwordjdm.com has a knock off of the hondata heatshield for cheap ($30 or 40) and nipponpower.com has a knock off called "next gear thermoshield"(same price as hondata). Both are similar in looks and descriptions to hondata. Are the knockoffs I mentioned as good as honadata, or are they merely cheap imitations. I talked to a guy who's bought a lot through passwordjdm but hasn't looked at their knock off but says they are a very reliable and quality company to deal with.

From what i've seen even the Hondata ones are crap.

I'd skip on this completely.

i have the hondata intake gasket....BIG DIFFERENCE....not really.....its a gasket...i just like the fact that after i left my head sittin in the trunk for 2 weeks of the summer...my gasket heated up from the hot summer days, and re-formed itself into a new breed of gasket....if u want...get the knock off...$60 for a hondata 1hp rating...isn't worth it...your better off using that $60 on 110 octane gas to get the power

hondata is suppose to drop your intake air temp by like 30 degrees or something like that

reused mine four times. as for intake temps. never noticed any differnces. being reusable is pretty beneficial.

yeah...u can re-use them....when mine got deformed...i just soaked it in hot water...and let it flatten out
