HP gains??

Ok I plan on getting the Comptech Cold Air Intake, the "Ice Box," for my first mod. I was just wondering if it would make any difference in acceleration/speed? I mean, would I feel the difference in power a lot or only slightly? Also, what type of HP gain would I get (can't be more than 10, right?)?? I would appreciate any other information on this product also.

I couldn't really tell, and I had both spacers and Icebox installed at same time. A slight difference possibly but nothing significant.

I doubt you'll feel it, but it's about a 7-10 whp gain.

Ok this is what I thought...thanks for informing me anyway

On every post like this, there's always one to say "search" well, I tried that and came up with nothing. When you search "Comptech Ice box" on here, you get a million things you're not looking for, but thanks for the advice Sometimes it just easier to talk with knowledgable people.

Us knowledgable people get annoyed with answering the same question 2 times a week, nothing against you. I searched and found 10 pages of these 2 examples.

Also, the CAI's gains are listed through dyno's on the comptech website.

FYI- If you ask repeated questions, you'll be called a noob and be told to search. Its just the way it goes on this site.

ok its all good guys, just had to get the search results thing off my chest.

Thanks again for the super advice , but my computer sucks and when i click the dyno page on the comptech site ( , i did try this beforehand too!!), it opens a "adobe 6.0" program whcih freezes my computer. Now that you all know too much about me, just answer these "noob" questions sometimes, unless its just some idiot asking a stupid question...

every question you could poassibly ask has been asked and ANSWERED. the resources are there for you to take ur time and find them. if your computer is slow - complain to someone who cares. in the mean time, just know that all the questions you have right now, are "stupid hackneyed questions"

It's probably because I haven't seen a quality thread in the 2nd gen forum for a while. These questions are all bullshit.

All I can say is "wow." No, wait....ummm......yeah, there's more !! I just can't keep my big mouth shut...

What would be a "good post" for you my friend? what, something that holds your interest for more than 30 seconds? Would that be good? Why are you even here if you seem to know every single answer to every single question?
If you're so smart, why can't you just answer the questions and be done with it? Why do you have to complain with every single "noob" question? Did you realize every question you comment on is a "noob question"? Is making people mad your way of holding that 30 second attention span?
Are these past 8 questions, "noob" question? HUH?? Since you know it all, can you please answer any one of these questions now? Can you? Why are you still reading? Can't you answer these? Can you?

Did you realize that people come here solely to find out things about the acura CL? Did you realize you're one of the few looking for entertainment?

so i did that search you wanted me to do. You should try it because when you type in "asshole", the first thing to come up is some guy calling you one (this post). Seriously try it, I'm not joking around!

you gotta feel like garbage when you come up with a search entitled "asshole". So nice job fixing things up , the search function does not lie, and and you will forever be remembered....

So on google, if i type in acura know-it-all asswipe, i wonder who comes up...

Alright, let's keep this thread on topic. The Comptech Icebox is a great mod. It appears stock, has a deep throaty tone, and can be felt throughout the entire RPM band. You will not be pushed back in your seat but you will feel a slight gain.

PM me if you need one.

....good job trying to convey how the search thing works idiot. you should highlight the ENTIRE reply 02cls stated calling me an asshole.....maybe....highlight it? or would that freeze your computer too? maybe you should READ EVERYTHING IN THE REPLY BOX before considering them for your trash examples.

why would i feel like garbage when your ass lives like garbage? you're the one living in a pizza box asking a question your ass can't even answer it b/c ur computer sucks shit you can't even open adobe? keep your you have in your pocket for a computer rather than an icebox.

FYI - you're a moron. you say you typed in "comptech icebox" in the search function - but you're not even looking for the icebox, you're looking for HP gains. Ever think of typing SOMETHING ELSE!?!? maybe... 'icebox hp gains'?
i did the search, took me 2 seconds. the resources are there. use them. this thread was fucking worthless since post #1. i'm done.

DC only came out with a header for AT CLs. The only option we have is to go with either Comptech headers or the SS Autochrome/XS Power ones they sell on Ebay. There's a whole post about them here-->Header Post.
