i won the bid but am not sure if i should pay for it. hahah what do you all think?

 

lol i wouldn't buy anything like that for my car.... i mean when i had a 92 accord i bought one off of ebay and it sounded louder and felt stronger but idk... i wouldn't take it

 

looks like any CAI- If you can read and follow the DIY on here for one- its no problem to install
Anything to get more air to the engine is good- just removing the intake resonator box helps- thats coming off for cai anyway

Have a friend help remove the bumper cover- its bulky
Wrapping some rubber band type material around it in a few places reduces noise/resonance in the pipe itself
Also using a rubber plumbers fitting called- No Hub coupler- will make a rubber splice inline to reduce vibration
Some wrap reflectex around the pipe to keep hot air away from the metal

 

u can use exhaust wrap on it to keep the noise and heat down, change the filter to a k&n filter and have fun with it

 

doh! thats what I forgot~ a quality air filter needs to be installed on it for sure
Exhaust wrap is good stuff too

 

a pipe is a pipe. Its good if you dont have to worry about carb legal stuff like us in cali Id take that and grab a k&n or aem filter.

 

a pipe is a pipe, but thickness comes to play with resonance and heat

 

i bought it, put a dry flow on it, and works fine, the only thing that they sent wrong was the coolant bypass hose, was wrong inner diameter and broke right away cause it was pinched.

 

psssha if i had seen a nice one like that i woulda jumped on it. like i said before, it's crappy ebay engineering, it's 66% as good as the awesome AEM one. the AEM one makes what? 3 HP? then this thing makes 2. you're saving 200 bucks, throw it on a pulley. or a better filter

 

i have the same one... works perfectly fine.

 

goin to purchase it right now hahah. thanks for the input

 

i got an ebay CAI and i got no complaints. looks good too. im going to change the filter to a k&n and thats about it.

 

I bought one too. My mounting bracket broke, so I had to make some custom changes to it. But what do you expect for something so cheap. Thanks for the K&N filter idea, I am going to do that this week. Other than that it works great and sounds better than stock!

 

had mine for two years no problem the metal is not as thick as the name brands but a its a pipe it does the job

 

Well its metal. So wont both of them warm up anyways just matter of one taking a bit longer the other, right?

 

yes. but over time and warpage. also resonance.

 

it takes 600°C to melt 6063 Aluminum, which is used for the ebay intakes


i dont think it will "warp" so easy. AEM uses the same type of aluminum. where are you getting your facts from?


and to OP if u are buying it, look for metal burns on the inlet ports on the intake. if u can file them down, and clean the inside. mine had a lot of dust from forging, so i cleaned it with TB cleaner

 

u dont need the melt it to warp it. constant heat cycles and engine movement can cause the mounting bracket to snap.

 

Didnt some aem ones have this issue also? I always thought it was just a damn metal pipe and filter was really wat made it wat it is.

 

anybody want to give me DIY information on installing this thing? im actually thinkin about blacking out my lights and since someone said that id have to remove the bumper anyway, should i just have an acura day and do both ?

 

I didn't take off my front bumper to do the install. Just pulled the tire and folded back the fender well. It went smooth and only took about an hour.

 

hell yea. u can kill 2 birds with 1 stone and just install the cai and take out the headlights and black them out. check out the diy section for the headlights and i think they have one for the cai too.

 

I love my Ebay intake. Had it a year now with no problems.

 

I got every thing from ebay with no issue. like CAI, option pulley for both total under $100, may be header soon too.

 

injen install for me on friday!
