Does the supercharger count as an aftermarket intake?

I just got mine last week. What a huge difference, well in sound at least. I m still in the mids of deciding if it sounds more like a ricer civic now or like a real sports car

Not to mention the effect on the "butt dyno".

You don't have to dissasemble the front of the car, just jack up the front left and remove the inner fender... easy!

Thats good to know I thought you had to remove the front bumper to install the icebox. Thanks for the offer gto2050, etters is in south central PA. Which is about a 2-3 hour drive oneway to NJ so I could just use that 5-6hours travel time to intall it. But once again thanks for the offer

lay down with a flat tipped screw driver and 10mm nut driver... take 1 bolt out and pop 3 pins out.... Wahhh laaaa... instant access...

Let me quarentee this... YOU DO NOT need to pull the front BUMPER cover to install an ICE BOX or CAI...


Ask Shawn S if he want to buy the Xephyr CAI... he might need a extra...... maybe he can put it in his wifes vehicle... Then they can rip up together in harmony.....LOL

SHAWN BLOCK!!!


LOL

Xephyr CAI for the RAV4....Interesting.
You guys gotta see how small the intake on that little 4-Cyl is. It's like a 1 1/2" pipe.
I'm gonna take a picture one of these days.

Can I ask why? I'm on the fence about putting on a CAI. With just a K&N, is it closer to stock or closer to a CAI setup?

mattg: how long did it take you to "clear" your headlights?

Did you do it yourself?
