I have a 99 honda civic si, and I can get a really good deal on a Vibrant Performance intake and exhaust. Can someone tell me what kind of performance this intake will give my car vs AEM or Injen.

It will be about the same as all the others, give or take a few CFMs. The only way you are going to get any real advantage from any of those products is if you've built up your engine with performance stuff. With a stock engine the only gains you get will be close to 8hp. 10 if your lucky, which isn't too bad in my book. If you are expecting real gains beyond 8 or 10 horses, an engine and drive train up grade will be required, bud. It may not be what you wanted to hear, but at least it's real advice.

I've got a few things done to my engine. Going to be doing some bigger upgrades soon, but at the moment i have a short ram intake that was messed up by the person that I bought the car from.

I haven't heard much feedback on Vibrant Performance parts, so was looking for some feedback on them before I went ahead and got them. I would be getting the cold air intake and the catback exhaust that works with a turbo.

I would stick with Injen or GReddy intakes, if I were you. The universal advice on things automotive is; if you don't know the product or its reputation, don't mess with it. GReddy and Injen has been proven to work just fine and knowing that you've done some work to your ride... you'll see some difference in power.

ive heard vibrant is ok but i'd say go with aem or k&n(if possible cause they tend to be the best but don't have much as far as imports)

K&N is another good option.
