Damn Cold Air Intakes for CL's are hard to find....unless it's for new TYPE-S models....but I heard from friends, (and also from other posts here at this site) that AEM makes COld Air Intakes for Honda Accords 94-98' that are compatible for my automatic 97' 3.0 CL...can anybody confirm this? and also, can anybody tell me where i can find one? thanx

I need one too. What will fit the 2.2 CL?

What's the best CAI for the 2.2 CL?

3PointZero

I have the AEM CAI for my 98 3.0- Get model #21-416. This is for 98+AccordV6/3.2TL/3.2CL. It will fit the 3.0, except the mounting spots need a little adjustment to make it fit. But it does fit snug into our car. Get it from http://www.aieonline.com Got mine for 185 there- no shipping charges. See pics below

3PointZero i s correct. I did the same thing and the shop that put it in did it in less than an hour. The mounting spots gotta be adjusted just a little. I'll take pictures soon and post them. If you get it and decide to get a Air Bypass, do it all at the same time to save yourself time.

Sunny day and a low res digital cam dont mix well...



After the install, just put in a piece of rubber on the mounting spots to dampen any vibrations and you're set.

Thanks 3pointzero and MikeSwing......helped me out a lot...i'll go buy my AEM intake....don't want Weapon R breather or some generic intake i don't trust. Now i also know wat year to buy the Intake (98'+), and wat do u mean by an air bypass valve? only other thing i know is the air filter. Well, thanx anyway guyz....u guys r da best.

hmm.....one more question....how much did u guys get ur CAI for ur 3.0 CL for? cuz i found couple websites...and they're all freakin expensive. Can u guys tell me some good prices, cuz some websites sell it for $200..hmm...isn't that kinda steep? well, thanx for ur time again guys.

3PointZero

$200 is about average. I got mine for $185 cause I bought it during a group buy. I dont have a bypass valve, but for more info on what it does goto AEM's WEbsite

I have a DAC from DC Sports, I have had for almost a year now and I really love it. It sounds really good and can feel an increase in hp. It is not a cold air intake though, but DC is coming out with cold air extensions for the DAC, I am waiting for the accords application to come out. It cost me about 180. I think DC makes some of the best mods you can buy.

i just ordered the aem cai part#21-416. i'm looking at 3pointzero pics, by the way great pictures, when i get the cai how many tubs are there? also is it easy enough to install yourself...my next ? do i need the air bypass-valve. what size are the tube or tubes for #21-416. greatly appreciated.thanks

You don't really need an air bypass valve, unless u live in an area w/ lot of rain, or u dropped ur car and worried that water might get in engine. I didn't get my air bypass valve (around $40 from AEM) and i'm doing fine so far w/ my CAI.

drewha174

did you install it youself, if so how long did it take you. how far down does the filter go. are there any mods that you had to do to make it fit...basically is it easy enough to do yourself... thanks
