Good call Astro--I think that valve is a total rip off.

Now the question is who is gonna sell this AEM CAI at $185 + shipping (i.e., ~ $200)!!!

Need to order a CAI, real soon now. I may still get Xephyr version if he can fix the mouting bracket, and show me a dyno

Black, Eboney, 3.2 CL Type-S.
- Acura NAV.

- Wheels locks.
- Mooonroof visor
- Splash guards,
- Winter mats,
- Trunk liner,
- Acura Spoiler.

- PIAA 19169 road lamps.

 

2 questions:

1) Where is the best place to buy this AEM CAI from and what are the top color choices so far? Blue, Red, and Grey Metal are the 3 choices I believe. Personally, I think Blue is cool, Red is Flashy, and Gray is discreet.

2) What are these 2 tubes going from this Injen CAI that I see here? Does this need to be done on the AEM CAI?

I have decided NOT to get the bypass valve as I live in the bay area and haven't seen any 10inch puddles around here recently.

imma get the red AEM and see if I could buy the red hose that injen used. and yes aem has those hoses too but there black. I think Im going to pass on the bypass valve as well.

Comments:

1. Southern California is supposed to be dry right? Nop. I've driven through intersections in my area with about 1 foot of water. The cities are growing and the flood control is not keeping up. Check up on the percent of revenue being used for infrastructure and you will see that it is getting smaller and smaller by the year.

If the water is already reaching 1 foot in height, is it not reasonable to assume that this will get worse with time?

The BMWs had a problem with hydrolocking out in the San Fernando valley. They had their air intakes near the bumper. Many busted engines.

So, an air bypass is a very good idea if you don't use you CL-S as a 2nd car.

Any comments about CARB for the various CAIs?
