what's this Xeyphr CAI I keep reading about people having... I'm kinda new to this so I do'nt know what makes it any different than any other shiny tube with a filter on the end?

 

Xeyphr CAI was a CAI that was created by a person who shared the name Xeyphr too. It was the best CAI according to all the members on the board at the time. A few people still have it, but it is no longer in production as the Xeyphr is now out of business. Here is an excerpt from Chod's FAQ: http://www.geocities.com/gamesmgr/chod/acura/#CAI2

 

it was the only game in town way back when...

 

i have one, you can buy a piece of history from me, make an offer

 

Yea that too... it was before my time

 

Mine still goin strong i think!

 

mine too-and loud as shit!

 

such a shame a great design didn't work out

 

I have a Xephyr intake on my car.
Great product.......Great price (for those that actually shipped )

Bad company management & customer service.
The demand was too high and he got behind on orders and everything blew up in his face.

Selling mine for $150 Firm Stainless Steel.

 

What do u expect shawn , he was Polish..LOL...

 

No it wasn't, well kinda...

This was on my car back in August of '00, well before the Xeyphr CAI was sold:



But this required cutting of the Accord/TL intake...

Oh as a side note, I'll be selling this intake soon for about $75, I'm making my own IceBox or whatever you want to call it. This is in addition to Porting and Polishing the Intake manifold and Injector Base...

 

I also did the same as Scalbert.

 

it's too bad the AEM's got recalled way back when

 

yeah, you got fed up with waiting for xephyr to ship the damn thing. thanks again for selling it to me when it finally arrived!

 

I still have mine and it's in great shape. I got mine right at the end of Chris' high jinks. Never could figure out what happened. I'll be selling mine next year for $100 when the lease is up.

 

I got mine from PAA, no shipping problems, except the cone was smashed from "shipping". PAA replaced it and I didn't have to deal with the X man. I think PAA is sold out of them. I did change the mounting design, put the upper box back in and put the ring clamp around the big rubber insert, see pictures above posts first page. Then cut out a hole in the lid for the upper tube. Attach the cruse cable to the original clip on the lid. Also the pressure relief valve is now inside the box. Note if you do this don't make the box airtight or the relief valve won't work. Yes! I did remove the lower box. Makes the Engine compartment look stock, I know very boring for the younger crowd.

 

Mine is still going strong!
