new to AcuraZine.....just wanna know what short ram intakes work well for 98' cl 3.0...live in cali, so it has to pass smog...also what mufflers should i check out for a muffler that has a nice sound to it. i don't need anything loud, i like the way the G35 muffler sounds...any suggestion well be appreciated. thanks!

 

ebay intake + K/N filter

when doing the smog just put back the stock intake. take about 5 mins to do it.

There is no way to get what a G35 sounds like unless you get a VQ engine. plus no 4 cylinder will sound like that.

 

 

or our 3.0

 

thanx for the info...i'll check ebay...

 

Get a G35 or maybe record the exhaust from a G35. Please a speaker next to your exhaust and turn up the volume.

 

He can also put one of those fake turbo bov to make it super legit lol

 

Magnaflow 14832 is the muffler I have. Sound clip here but it's on a 3.0

I also got an ebay CAI with a K&N cone filter. Sounds great when you get on it. Good luck!

 

don't forget to remove the entire air box. def. use a K&N, which reminds me, mine needs a recharge.

 

Don't do short ram in the 3.0, it hums like no other

 

yes, there is the hum, and there's the whistle (at least on mine). at about 3k its whistling until I stop accelerating. I've tried everything and it's always there. People think my belt is slipping, which is rather ridiculous.

However personally I don't like cold air intakes. Between how dirty I see them get and the possiblity of hydrolock, I'll stick to SRI. I just like not having to worry at all about it. and I know they have CAI with an anti hydrolock device, but then your talking a bit more money

 

wise words spoken by a wise man.

hum's and whistles like a 80 year old geriatric patient that is on the med's.

 

i gots an S.R.I. and she humz at idle and whisltes when throttle up. its the resonance of the design of the throllal body and intake, the design just creates a whisle,.... i personally kinda like it and dont mind. nothing is wrong, in fact quite opposit, your floodinf the engine with air,.. good things happen then.

 

sorry not to post all these togather, im an idiot,
n e way, when you remove the complete air box it opens up the inside fender, buy some aluminum sheet at canadian tire for $10 and you can fad a super light weight heat deflector

 

I agree, it means it's in the power band. It gets annoying occasionally, but mostly I dont like idiots accusing me of having a slipping belt. Good to know someone else has the whistle.

I also like the noise when you turn the car off, and the intake blows back a bit or something of that sort. Sounds like its exhaling. only way I can describe it, happened with my 4 bangers but the with the 6 it's very pronounced.

In fact these reasons are why I never bothered with an exhaust, the stock one sound okay on mine and the intake sounds like a chorus when vtec hits.

 

I have a CAI and love the sound it produces especially when vtec hits. I have to tell you guys that today was the first real rain I've driven in since installing it and it was pouring! The longest 1 hour ride of my life I think. I kept picturing the engine just stopping everytime i hit a puddle lol! The f'd up part is the AEM bypass valve I bought is still in my trunk uninstsalled. Needless to say I'll be installing it Teusday after the rain stops!

 

$50 to not ruin my engine was worth it, got caught in a hurricane and the road flooded out, thing worked like a charm and I did not hyrdolock. Frankly, I think it's the only way to go, I too started with the hum from an SRI

 

Install that bitch, it works wonders!

 

Takeda intakes any good?

 

Never heard of em

 

Yes sir! Hopefully this weekend.
