I noticed that I lost the nice sweet CAI in VTEC and when IMRC engages. This is only happenend when the temprature is in 90s!!

It sound like stock

Headers and mufflers will help that out

Not to start a aroument or add friction between us....-but mine actually sounded throatier and deeper today, and it was 93 in Princeton NJ. Maybe you got some bad gas? Anyone else notice this? Were you idling for a while before you noticed this? Might be a few things, email me if you want to try a few things that might help..,

Therory #1:

Could it be because the Open Cone Filter needs to be removed cleaned and then re-oiled ? I think if the oil was stripped because of rain power wash it needs to be re-oiled it could affect the CAI sound.

That may affect it somewhat. Generally a clogged filter will reduce airflow and dampen the sound, a dry filter will flow an egual amount of air, however it will not filter it as efficiently.

It's already hit 100 here in Phoenix.... my AEM CAI sounds like a beast at any temp. It was very strangely only 77 for the high today and it sounded no different.

 

Do you feel a difference in performance or only the sound? If the cone is partially clogged you should notice a drop in performance.
