Cold air intake

Post by _lithium_ »

Does anyone have any suggestions on which setup/brand to buy in regards to a cold air intake? My entire accordion tube on the air intake is pretty messed up and patched. If I put the cold air intake in will I see any noticeable differences?

Check the FAQ, some integra intakes are pretty much direct bolt in.

No significant difference, mostly sound and reliability

Lol, yeah I'm debating on doing it myself. I just sorta want it to look really nice instead of like I just slapped some crappy looking PVC stuff together or something though lol.

Ok scratch everything I just said haha, I went to the auto store and it looks like they sells chrome (i think its chrome...) piping and attachment stuff for intake systems and I'm just gonna buy a few of those and maybe a K&N filter and call it good lol.

Filters are filters, just buy one you can re-use(i.e. properly clean, a dirty K&N is worse than a clean no-name) :)

As for PVC, I rock it. ;)

Shiny metal = more money, transfers heat into the intake charge, and isn't super adjustable. You're kind of stuck with your pipe length... I can adjust my PVC system however I like, I keep lengthening/shortening it actually, it's cool seeing how much of a difference in power band it can make.

It does look better though, I'll give you that. :/ I look at it this way... I prefer my car to be/feel fast, than to look fast. :/

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
