Cold Air Intake Cai

I just got a new '05 Acura tsx and im looking to make my first mod to it soon. Im looking at an Injen CAI. Anyone recommend anything better?

Also, ive heard you need to get a water bypass valve or else youre seriously risking drowning the engine. any thought?

thanks

Don't go swimming with your TSX and you'll be fine. the filter needs to be completely submerged before it would hydrolock your engine. That means you'd need to drive through water about 18" deep..

Go for the Hondata.

Due to "slight" risks of CAI, I decided to go with the SRI. Afterall, there are flooded areas deeper than 18" in NJ, though rare, the chances are still

You seem confused. I recommend doing a few searches on this site as there is plenty of information on the Injen CAI (or any intake for that matter) on this site. AZine is actually really informative if you learn to use it. While your at it search for Handata as well. However since you and I are the owners of an '05 we have to wait for a new version of the Hodata, unless theres something I missed there.

I know, its tough being a n00b. Considering I'm still one. But I was lucky enough to read about other people asking repetative questions and doing reposts before I joined so i manage to avoid those.

Good luck with your new car!

summer ban games???? anyway, one thing that AZ has is 100 threads about cai, mostly injen, and the sticky on the hondata, i read all the posts on the hondata, good 2 hour reading, and the search button does wonders to ones knowledge.........

also to add my 1/2 a cent in this thread, my belief is that any member that wants to mod a tsx should do the following........ lightweight rims/summer tires, rear sway bar, cai, hondata as mods that will turn a tsx into a totally nicer car. and maybe lowering it/coilvers........ there goes my .005 cents
