I just got my CAI in the mail today. I tried to install it myself, but I don't have any metric sized tools, so I couldn't get the goddamn intake tube detached from teh silencer box in teh fender well. I'm going in to my loca shop tomorrow, and installing it there. I'll be working on it to, so It's not like I'm totally copping out, but it'll just be easier this way.

When I opened the box and saw the filter, I thougth GODDAMN!!!! That thing is HUGE!!! It's gonna look PIMP once it's installed. Here are some pics I just took of it.


and here's one of the setup. I decided to go with black instead of polished since it would go with the rest of the plastic under the hood.



whataya think?

i think thats about the same size as the AEM short ram for the integra i installed.

Typical K&N filter I think....looks normal to me!

ghost_masterCL

ok, well maybe the ones I've seen int eh past were small ones. this one is bigger thana softball, and the ones I've seen prior were about inbetween baseball and softball size. Weird.

ya man, i just picked up my V2 yesterday... filter looks pretty identical. hopefully i can put it in tomorrow. i'm anxious to hear how it sounds.

klepto

my, what a big filter you have!

ghost_masterCL

that's not the only thing I have that's big. I also have big...




































hands.

you know what they say about big hands.................

















































they wear big gloves



nice one man, i love the hum of my INJEN, can you take a vid of the sound of the CAI, you have a 3.0 right? i have the shirty INJEN and its loud andhumms a lot which is cool cause the intake turns heads when i drive, thats when i had a car and a tranny that worked

ghost_masterCL

I WOULD take a vid of teh engine, but I don't have any form of video taking aparatus except for my video card, but that does me no good without a camera . Ahhh well... I'll probably record a sound clip or somehting along those lines eventually.

Speaking of fucked up trannys, did you get a tranny cooler for your car? I jsut ordered one about 2 days ago, adn plan on installing it ASAP. According to dustbuster4, his 3.0 has had no tranny problems since his install of the tranny cooler. I figured it would be a great investment if that's the case.

thats the best looking intake ive seen thus far.

the V2 is prolly better 4 gains i imagine

ghost_masterCL

yeah, I'm sure the V2 is better for gains and all, but this one looks pimp, and probably gets 2 less HP than the V2, so I think the trade off is fine. Not to mention it's probably gonna sound sweet anywyas.

CLScotty97

Ya i got the AEM Shorty on my cl and its the same exact filter. it sounds so sweet. later i think im gonna get the cai extension. tell me what you think. here are some pics of it... pre-soft mount.....

enjoy

ghost_masterCL

OMG! this thing sounds so AWESOME. The car sounds like a damn muscle car now. Luckily it's only during WOT, so I'm not gonna atreact any unwanted attention from normal driving.

nice man, have fun! I remember when I got my first CAI...I couldnt stop hauling ass everyone just so that I can hear the sound of it, lol.

ghost_masterCL

Yep cocoa, sounds like me right about now. I've gotta get rid of my lead foot because with these gas prices I can't afford to be getting 15 mpg again. I think it's sweet how if I gun it, then take my foot completely off the gas, the air going into the intake sounds like a really quiet BOV. Pretty sweet. this thing turns head like no other now .


On another note. what was all the talk about moving an air sensor, and crimping wires or something? is that nly in the 2.2/2.3 models as everything fit perfecty in this installation.

now I just gotta get an exhaust and headers to finish off the sound .

and you know about what they say about guys with big gloves














































they got big hands. lol

ghost_masterCL

lol, actually it's not feet that match the... erm.. endowment of a man . apparently it matches from wrist to tip of index finger.. ok done with that..

kevin... post whoring already? here we go again .

ju5tchi11in

hmmm that doesnt fit... I thought it was make an L with ur index and thumb and from base of thumb to tip of index is a good indicator...

n e way that filter is regular sized... just looks large because well u didn't have one that size in ur engine bay before....

ghost_masterCL

tru dat. I just reset my ECU by unpluffing the bettery for 10 minutes, then plugging back in and letting the car diel for 10 minutes. It doesn't feel any different. Just got my tranny cooler today. Hopefully I have the tools to install this one. stupid 10mm bold for the CAI.
