i know little, why do so many people replace the air intake?? is it worth doing, what is worth doing in order to get more out of my 2001 cl?

 

First...:noob:


Second...do a search.

Oh yea...welcome.

 

It provides more air, cooler air to the engine. Providing the engine air easier means the engine does not have to work as hard to get that air, thus making more power... errr something like that.

 

less restrictive so u get more air

 

what they said^^

 

pimpscls you dont bother me at all, but I see you in everyone's posts making comments that have no point, making it evident that you are a POSTWHORE

 

a cold air intake takes in cooler air, from outside the engine bay

cooler air = denser, more oxygen

 

just get one, and I would recommend the Icebox for a TAD bit more power and only slighty louder than stock (more of a growl), compared to the AEM CAI which is SIGNIFICANTLY louder than stock and has ALMOST the same gains as the Icebox, and it gets a higher pitch. The icebox IS a CAI, don't get confused...it just doesn't look like it, however it has a pipe going underneath the box which acts as a CAI. The Icebox looks nearly stock, where the AEM shows off more. It's your call. It's a nice little mod to start out with I plan to get it for my birthday in August.

P.S. oh yeah, Beetroot is right on the money

 

thats all im saying....

 

And if you don't like the stock look, just get it painted. You can get the engine cover and battery covered to match as well.

 

^---just curious, how much does that cost to get that stuff painted? I've seen that before and it looks real clean

 

when I had mine painted a got a package deal for all of that including the grille, and another engine bay piece plus install of the headers, icebox and sways. so Icould tell you exactly what it would cost.

 

to all of you on this thread i know what to say, but whats the point typing out the same shit stated above over and over, thats exactly what i was gonna say. All i can say now is that it is a shit load louder then stock and you will be scaring old people and little children wiht AEM CAI!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

:wackit:

 

if you dont have anything new to say then just dont post, whats your obsession with having to post in every thread....

 

Yo man, just let him go... he'll end up shooting himself in the foot, no need for you to go down with him. It's been established by numerous members he is a post whore. Eventually he'll go overboard and when he does he'll be gone. I wouldn't waste your time on it anymore.

 

sorry meant to say "I couldn't tell you exactly what it would cost"

 

it depends, if you have a cl-p get an AEM short ram air, the gains from any intake are pretty small so you generally wont notice the difference between the short ram air and the cold air, and this one sounds realllllyyy sick, but if you have a cl-s go with the AEM cold air intake, if you want just the performance tho go for the Comptech Icebox, less noise and slightly more power.

 

AEM CAI for sure....

 

I miss the sounds of my AEM, once it was off I felt as though I wasn't going faster, although I was. Something about it really grew on me and I almost lived in VTEC the entire time I had it on. It has a nice psych attribute to it on top of the 7 or so ponies. I would go back and do it all over again if I could. I looked into custom cutting it to fit the SC but alas I use the icebox now.
