The injen is a 2 piece intake, no cutting neccesary, you just attach the filter to the first piece without the coldair extension to put it in short ram version...

This question has been answered more times than I can think of...Learn to search

Hopup has the K&N too.

Some people have had a rubber hose break on the injen's.
Some people have stated loss of torque with injen.
K&N torque curve looked a little better to me which was just an excuse to get
red at the time. I don't thing I lost torque though.
K&N and DC header work well together.

Injen = louder, more power, more expensive
Icebox = quieter, closer to stock looking, not as much power as Injen, less expensive

Might as well throw this in cause you know it's the next question

You have much less of a chance to hydrolock with the icebox than with the injen. Even though the chance is pretty slim with the injen.

I think the chances are about the same since the pickup is in the same location.

Could be right,

i figure that the angle being curved towards the front of the car on the icebox would mean the water would have to splash up, turn towards the front of the car, turn up, then go into the snorkel. While in the injen, splashes can soak right into the filter.

Also, if water were to get up into the snorkel, it would then be soaked up by the filter. Once it get past the injen filter, there is nothing else to stop it unless it avaporates.

Also, i might be retared, if so, disregard my last post

Splashes really don't matter, the filter or "snorkel" have to be submerged. Splashes just atomize and will get pumped through as water vapor. Lots of liquid is what does damage.

No version 2, it was just a new part number but the same intake.

So no second generation injen cai is coming out for our tsx producing extra power huh?? So it was a rumor than... hmm... I should buy comptech icebox and sway bar for next mod than... I had injen cai on my 03 accord 4cyl and the intake was little loud for my taste. Also feel somewhat unsafe from liquids.
