Can I get some feedback on who makes the best cold air intake for a 3.0 CL,I already plan on a K&N filter. I've noticed many just don't know if one works better than another..
Also plug wires has anyone had better luck with one brand over another? Already bought Iridium plugs. Thanks all

 

well the two best would either be AEM or Injen. but alot of guys get cheaper ebay intakes with K&N filters and they work just fine as well. i dont have wires yet either. but im narrowing it down to either MSD or Nology. idk what some of the 3.0 guys have, but thats what i would stick with.

 

omg someone stop this thread before it blows up.

 

yupe deff AEM

 

i kno right. just listen to my post and you cant go wrong. no more comments neccesary.

 

Thanks

 

Save your money and get a cheap ebay one. ive said it before and ill say it again. Ours cars dont make shit for power, you get an intake and no matter which one you get, your not gonna get more than 5hp out of it. You dont even hardly notice 5hp. Save your money and get a different mod.

 

I have an aem sitting in my basement and I'm using an ebay intake with bypass valve and k&n instead

 

Thanks to u and SwervinCL that's what I was wanting to hear so I'm not wastin my food stamps on that I can waste them on sumthin else.
What's the bypass valve for? Appreciate u guy's..

 

bypass valve is "supposed' to protect against hydrolocking your engine. (it's debatable if it works or not, but for $50, I got one just for a little piece of mind. It's supposed to breathe if your intake loses suction, and prevent your motor from sucking water in if you ran through a deep ass 2-3 foot puddle. It's not well proven or tested, but it's nice to have just in case. Personally I woulnd't drive through a puddle that deep, but it's good to have just in case.

This is what it looks like

 

the CL is not a fast car unless you want to put money into it. Like turbo, or H22 swap. Alex (ayougo) did some h22/23 JDM stuff on his f23 block with some sucess.
Little things like intake/plugs/wires are not really gonna do much of anything for ya. Exhaust isnt even a big deal. Unless you do your whole exhaust, header/full catback your not gonna notice any big gains.

 

Thanks for the pic who carries that?

 

eBay

 

Yes I agree with ya on that for the most part, what weve been talking about does help the efficency of the motor which is all I'm after right now. As far as the exhaust I do want to change from stock to a header w/catback complete front to back which brings up the question is that 21/2 or 3 inch? I'm that 3 inch might be to much for the 3.0 my Z-28 had a 3 inch catback on it but it was a 5.7 ltr.

 

would that be an item by itself on there?

 

I got mine from ebay, There are a few different kinds, mine is the AEM bypass which is the only one i trust, cuz they invented it. It's an aem bypass valve, they are universal as far as cai's are concerned, just need to know the right diameter size, mine for my 3.0 is a 2.75" which is how AEM details it on their site. Keep in mind, you either need a 2 piece cai or you have to cut your intake, which is why i got the ebay intake. My AEM cai is one piece and i didn't want to cut it.

 

Thanks I'll go that route, I ordered the short cai yesterday but I'll go ahead and order the long one today and do the mod. to it and set it up the way you have it (if u don't mind ) that's a clean set up.

 

I don't mind at all, hook it up man

 

You dont want to go any larger than 2.5"

 

 

ebay intakes own

 

I love my black ebay intake

 

wow, talk about about a thread that gets beaten like a dead horse, i cant imagine how many times this has been asked.

 

I'll keep that in mind when I do the exhaust. Thanks

 

I like that too, what company did that come from?

 

No kidding. But ohwell.

I have come to realize that questions like this are never gonna go away, so there is no point in getting mad anymore.

 

Just move along

 

I bet i know why, you cannot search for CAI because it is too short

 

Wow another old thread found by gaujo, bump!

 

haha ya fucker, i think I'm gonna get the cheapass ebay CAI, anyone know if one is specifically better, they are all around $40.http://search.ebay.com/accord-cold-air-v6_Parts-Accessories_W0QQcatrefZC6QQcoactionZcompareQQcoent rypageZsearchQQcopagenumZ1QQfromZR9QQfromZR9QQfsoo Z1QQfsopZ1QQfstypeZ1QQfyhiZ2002QQfyloZ1998QQmppfqy ZaccordQ20coldQ20airQQsacatZ6028QQsspagenameZSTRKQ 3aMEFSRCHQ3aSRCH

 

Why do you keep doing that?

Just curious

 

you get what you paid for!

 

HERE we go again

 

im getting a pipe, pluggin a k&n to the end of it. whats the problem?

 

I do have to give you props for searching tho.

 

personally i don't like giving POS parts, if thats ur car and you want it to be workin right then i would be spending some money so i don't get those problems later. watch you going to like the sound, then 2 months later take it out bc you got tired of it.

 

meh, i bought my intake off ebay for $6, it works fine

 

good point, so why would i spend $260 on a v2?

 

other than the name?

 

well i just find something i've been searching about and post in a propper topic instead of starting a new one. Thats what a forum if for right?
