Is the Icebox from Comptech just as nice as any other Cold Air Intake? except you dont have to get a bypass valve, right? since its encased and all

and would hte Icebox for the 98-02 Accord V6s fit into the engine bay of my car also?

 

The Icebox is QUIET compated to an AEM/Injen intake. It's louder than stock, but only when you get on it. Should have comparable gains.

The 98-02 AEMs fit, I can't see why the Icebox wouldn't unless it's just too big.

 

it should with modifications.....same motor so no problem there....just maybe the part that drops down into the bumper..might need to be modified some....not sto sure though..maybe someone will respond knows a little better....

 

if any ones finds out or knows for sure...let me know to...i might get one of those too....

 

Icebox in cldriver's '98 3.0

 

um... i want......

 

.....oh yeah, he's supercharged too

 

does Comptech make a supercharger that would fit in the 97s? or is my engine bay too small

 

come on!, look closer at the pic, you can see the comptech lettering on the supercharger, but be prepared to spend 4000$

and hey jamzcl whatever happend to cldriver?

 

that guy is my fucking hero

now i gotta come up with some $$$

 

obviouslly itrs a comptech charger, but my friend worked for Acura for a year and a half and said that the engine bays in the 1997 3.0s were too small for the blowers, and you could only fit them in the 98s and up

 

He stops by now and then......he's just very conservative with his posts.

 

The Icebox fits fine in the CL, the only thing is the mounting brackets and such don't line up. Basically, you have to just let the icebox sit in there. Although, Its pretty easy to fabricate some mounts.

 

What about the Volant intake. IMO That system looks alot better.



Comptech


But in all honesty, what's the difference? The Comptech uses a flat intake instead of a cone. It looks bigger, but that's about it. Isn't that basically the same as the OEM airbox plus a highflow filter....aka K&N?

 

im pretty sure they dont make Volants for accords or CLs... i think theyre mainly for domestic/SUV applications

 

of course, i didnt see any Volants for CL's.. but that looks like a CL in the picture, based on the location of the box, and the wires over that plastic plate right after the throttle body..

am i mistaken? do they make them for us?

 

Man whos car is that my friend wants to do that kit but does not know whats involved in the instal for mods

 

Yep....

i want a supercharger now! =)~~

 

Looks like the Volant intake is more expensive than CT


btw, Ive never heard of Volant until today

 

The Comptech is NOT a flat filter. The flat filter shown on their site is the drop in for the STOCK air box. The Icebox uses a cone filter. The air horn directs the air up into the box, where it's sucked in by the cone.

The stock airbox does not take in air from below the bumper. It takes air in from right infront of the box. Ya know, the nice heated air out of the radiator. It bends down under the box and back up, impeding airflow. It also has two resonators that cut the noise produced.

 

what kind of gains does the icebox provide? like a CAI or not much at all...

 

 

I tried ordering that back in November. I found out that they don't make the V6 Accord model (it is listed). I paid, the order went through to Volant... and Volant told them it was not available. Them bastards!!!

 

Similar to a CAI, just quieter.
