Has anyone installed a v2 aem intake on a acura cl 3.0? just wondering im thinking about buying this soon and i want to know if anyones installation went in smoothly or any problems.. i saw the DIY for the 2.2 v2 installation now u guys need a 3.0 dyi

 

i'm installing that this week, if you guys want i'll do a DIY for the 3.0...my first real contribution to AZ...

 

People on here have put v2's on the 3.0 yes

 

I have done that to my car. Just follow the instructions they give you it's pretty easy.

 

yeah true. i was just wondering if anyone ran into any problems or anything... i think a big problem for me is my car is lowered and i dont know if i can snap of the wheel well...

 

v2 doesnt go into the wheel well that far.

 

You shouldn't have to get the box out of the fenderwell, since the V2 doesn't go down that far

 

haha kk ...i thought u were suupose to... so that the air... kicked up from the moving tire goes directly in the intake and that would cause a better performance.

 

If u really think that, I was just trying to save you from ripping your fenderwell out cuz it's a pain in the ass, least mine was. Also if you're doing that, buy new clips from honda before you do, cuz those 8-9 year old clips won't come out gracefully, i broke all mine takin em out.

 

itll also fuck up the filter a lot faster! u may have to replace it quite often if you take out the box

 

fuckin clips..i think i've broken every single one off my car as i've been strippin it down this last week

 

actually yeah you have to take out the filter box to install the V2. It almost touches the bottom of the wheel well it's alot longer than it looks, just as long as the AEM CAI. I'll try to post pics tomorrow.

 

Pics would be awesome do u drive a 3.0?

 

i noticed that there is a hole worn into the plastic in front of my wheel..
i have no idea how that happened..
it looks like its been rubbing against the tire as i drive


how about a DIY guide to reinstalling the stock intake components
i'd like this by 7am (before i go to acura), thanks

"In the mileage range of 75,000 to 150,000 miles, Acura dealers will replace certain emission components in your vehicle free of charge. These components include spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap, and rotor. A free oil and oil filter change will also be part of this one-time service, but remember--your vehicle is not eligible until it has reached 75,000 miles. At the time of this service, the OBD system will be inspected again and any necessary repairs performed free of charge. It is recommended that you have this one-time service performed in conjunction with the scheduled maintenance at 90,000 miles (refer to your owner's manual)."

awwwww yeaaaaah

 

geez.^^ is that your real pic shnee. haha.. get this girl that DIY! haha

 

yeah goddamn those honda fender clips...I just ripped em out because I knew they would break when I installed my CAI, I was too lazy to take the bumper off. A bag of them are about 13 bucks.

 

Where did you get this info, I am interested in taking my Cl to the shop now too.

 

I bought like 20 of em

 

dont know exactly where i found it, but it's true (though only for 97's i believe)
i just got everything done today (for free), though i need a new Cat and they waiting for it to ship in... so i guess i'll be going back soon for that

also got a tranny drain and fill for 60 bucks and it only took them like 10 minutes, which i was pleased about.. free car wash too

this car is running beautifully, i dont know if i want to put the CAI back in..

 

who would put this on their car...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-03...41631577QQrdZ1

 

dont do it

 

here's the pics



it's hard to tell but basically I can touch the filter element with the wheel well if it just push on the wheel well a little bit. So basically the bottom of the filter element on the intake is almost as low as the bottom of the bumper. Which means whatever your clearance is from the ground to your bumper that's your clearance to the bottom of the intake. If I remember correctly there might be a bulge in the wheel well where the filter element is located because it's that low.

 

Linky to the TSB here...

You should call up your local dealer be4 coming...i need to do this...

 

Stupid ricers that like their throttle open all the time, and love watching their cel flash

 

Anyone who wants 25+ HP..... Maybe ill buy one.............

 

What does red text mean again?

 

sarcasm

 

haha i was just wondering who would do that.. thats pretty much a waiste of 20 bucks id rather buy some led's with that money :-) or save up for my v2. thx for the pix.... looking Fly.. Thats going to be me.. this time next month :-D

 

i have a stupid newb question.. ok ok so on ebay.. they have the v2,,, but they say the only can fit this car.... etc... i was wondering what v2 intake did u guys buy to fit your car.. what model... cause apperently there not all the same

 

98-02 accord

 

 

hey danielsmi, did you have a whistling/hissing sound when you drive with the V2?...also, did you have rattling in the engine bay? anyone else have these probs when using V2? Thanks

ZZZ

 

Every cone filter intake whistles. As for the rattling, you need to secure that shit with some zipties or metal brackets.
