NocturnalEvo

Got it monday, and just installed it yesterday












The growl is LOUD, but not that deep, or atleast not as deep as my old AV6 was =/

Thank God they included STICKERS.

Just kidding. Congrats on the mod. Nice pics, too. Do you feel a difference in acceleration? And what's the advantage of the short ram CAI vs. one that's closer to the ground?

NocturnalEvo

The difference between a SRI(short-ram intake) and CAI(cold-air intake) isnt' much, only about 3-5whp or so. I just went with AEM over INJEN/K&N because I've had good experience with AEM in the past (not that INJEN or K&N is bad) but I duno lol..

As for a difference in acceleration, there is a bit once u get in the higher RPM's. Not too much downlow, atleast not yet. I haven't really gotten a chance to FULLY test it out yet, just been so bz with other things, and whenever I did go out driving, there was just too much traffic to really let loose heh..

Stickers are great. I got a K&N, Neuspeed and Comptech one now. I'm most envious of the license plate holder, now that's cool

ortiz

That just looks good. Two questions. How much was it? where did you get it?

I've been looking for an intake but don't want to spend more than $150.00 shipped. I know that is not really realistic but I figure that maybe I just might wait for a supercharger.

xizor

you'd want a SRI/CAI for a supercharger anyways, not wasting any money

BU

WoW, I like your AEM SRI very much.
Make me consider to purchase one.
Tempting, Must......................Resist.

P.S. Look like extremely easy to install, better than CAI (have to remove the bump)

But I figure that the SC will have one with it or I can tell which one will fit right.

NocturnalEvo

thanks guys

Ortiz: I payed $210shipped (from accsuperstars friend)
for $150, no offense, but ur not gonna find any intake for the TSX for that much lol. Unless you wanna wait a while, u can maybe get a cheap-o ebay intake... hehe

bender unit: yea its fairly simple to install. but what I did was take the bumper off anyways, i figured i'd take off the resonator or air box or w/e that thing is that was connected to the factory intake (figure'd it'd be weight reduction) then i found it was connected to something else (any1 kno wat?) so I ended up leaving it there, and put the bumper back on...

xizor

You don't have to remove the bumper, only the wheel well cover to install the CAI, somewhat easier.

Do SC's come w/ intakes? I didn't think they did. And even so, I don't think a SC should change the throttle body, so I'd assume any intake would fit, escpeially a SRI.

NocturnalEvo

some superchargers, like the Accord V6, TL, CL superchargers had to reposition the throttle body, and none of the other aftermarket intakes would work, thas why Comptech sold a special ICEBOX for the supercharger, because the tube was angled differently so that it would connect to the repositioned throttle body.

So unless you have to move your throttle body, any aftermarket intake should work.

ortiz

I guess I just have to wait and see.

NeoChaser

then can u still remove the resonator by removing just the
wheel well?

dabuda

that looks good...only $210 shipped...hmmm

yup....http://www.kandn.com/instructions/69-0025.pdf

TSX 3Pedal

I noticed that the AEM SRI includes a CARB sticker, which is already on it. I have the Injen CAI but the CARB number is still pending, or so they say in their e-mail response. I was just wondering for those who have the Injen CAI if you guys have a CARB number or if it was just my package that was missing one...???

FuriousGeorge83

Do these mods void factory warrenty?

NJtsx

CAI would get you that deep sound but still a nice mod

NocturnalEvo

really?

hmmm... lol well i hope I run into another TSX owner with a CAI, and ask 'em to show me hehe

gfxdave99

They shouldnt unless they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the mod you did caused something to fail that you are requesting service on.

Also.. my friend says you will hear the VTEC kick in louder if you have an intake, true?

NocturnalEvo

If you look for it, you will notice it.
But otherwise, its not that big of a difference.

In my previous V6 Accord, when VTEC kicked in, everybody inside AND outside the car knew it kicked in lol

Don't you risk sucking water into the engine with the one that's closer to the ground? Seems like it's right down there just asking to get wet.

xizor

You can search about the threat of hydrolocking, but the conclusion is, you cannot suck water in unless the filter is emersed, so you'd have to drive through almost a ft of water.
