Well, I bought one of the Pro Car parts cold air intake system... the ones that are on ebay for $50. I havent gotten it yet, but its on its way. I figured how bad can it really be? I mean, once the filter gets dirty i'll go out and buy a K&N filter. Does anyone here have one of these?? If so, how do you like it?? How's it sound??

 

Mine was supposed to arrived on Friday, but didn't!

Damn UPS! :thumbsdn:

Hopefully, it will be here on Tuesday (since Monday is a holiday).

 

mine's coming on thursday....hope its good...ive talked to a guy who bought their short ram. he's likes it. hey dustbuster, would aem bypass fit our intake? i mean.they're the same size 3". so...

 

Yeah, the bypass will fit... all it does is replace that one silicone coupler where the 2 pipes meet.

 

so should i get bypass valve for 94-97 accords?? cuz i know aem dont make bypass valve for 3.0CLs...

 

I think they go by size... so you'll have to see what diameter the pipe is and go by that.

 

What he said!

 

Whore!

 

Whore?

He addressed me by name. I was just responding! :P

 

oops, my bad.

I guess now i'm whoring this thread... oh well!!

WHORE
WHORE
WHORE!!

 

I hope you'll tell us how it looks and it the quality is there when you guys get 'em.

 

sure...im installing mine this weekend..I'll take pics and post em

 

FOCKERS!

My CAI arrived today, and the assholes forgot to include the hoses!

Can you believe this shit? :angry: :angry:

 

dude...that sucks.hope they dont mess up my order:shakehd:

 

Yah, i'll take plenty of pictures when I get it thrown in there... its silver, so it'll match my car too (kinda).

Dusty... I dont think i've ever seen you mad on here before!! chill...chill... go to a hardware store and pick up some black rubber hose and hook it up. theres only one short hose you need anyway. If you cant get anything out of the company and you dont wanna buy anything, gimme your address and i'll send you a piece of blue silicone hose.

 

Hey guys i'm about ready to do my intake as well. I was going to go for the AEM Intake with the Bypass valve. But it seems that you guys are just going with these 'universal' ones. Why is that? Will there be a difference in performance? Also; can anyone give me an idea on the price of the AEM Intake with the Bypass as opposed to the Universal INtake with the Bypass Valve?? ~I'd appreciate it guys; thanx.

 

well AEM intake is around140 and AEM bypass valve is around 40 so thats about 200bucks.
i got my intake from procarparts.com and it only cost me 50bucks+s/h and im also planning to get aem bypass valve...so i saved about100 bucks. well...i dont konw about the performance..i'll have to see after i install my intake. im racing a mercedes and souped up super ricey eclipse this weekend!! wish me good luck!

 

well $140 for an AEM and $50 for a procarparts.com is a big diff in price. Is there really a performance difference?

 

I am sure this has been beaten to death and is in the FAQ's but...

My 2 cents say that as long as the tube is engineered corretly. (i.e. bent in all the right places, correct size, and has all the required mounting hardware/hoses and it is made from at least steel)

It doesn't matter where I get a CAI from, from a performance point of view. Only price will be the determining factor.

If the above critera is met, then only the air filter at the end of the tube determines performance.

The cheaper CAI have garbage for air filters (compared with a quality air filter like a K&M). So I will buy a "cheaper" CAI and add my own K&N. I live in the FInger Lakes of NY and it rains and snows 200 days a year...so I will buy a bypass vaulve as well.

I'll use the $75-100 for HID headlights and other goodies for my CL.




Good Luck dpvistaz

 

Where are you finding a CAI for $140. They are usually more like $200

 

Thanks,

I appreciate the offer! I have some extra yellow hose from my short ram, but the "gaskets" (or whatever they're called) that came with the kit are blue!

Not the end of the world. I'll get color coordinated somehow. I'm planning to install it on Saturday.

 

Finally got it in today! Removing the resonator/box was a little more involved that I thought, but still relatively easy. Click on the link in my sig to see the intake (not yet color coordinated due to time contraints).

Oh, what the hell. Here 'ya go:

 

Looks Good DB4!!
