CAI vs Comptech Ice Box
hey i was wondering which intake system is better.
Any CAI (ex. AEM, INJEN, etc.)
Or Comptech Ice Box
The price really doesnt matter. I just want the power and torque and the sound.
That's all i want.
Thanx.

I would go with the C.T. ice box. I remember a thread some time ago were the discussion was over this very topic. You might be able to search for it. But most everyone prefered the ice box. The reasons given were that it was specifically manufactered and dyno tuned for our cars and thus had great power results. C.T. also designed it with the ability not to hydro lock-a priceless feature IMO.

Both have the same gains. It boils down to looks and sounds. I love the sound of the AEM personally. Most prefer the icebox it looks stock which is ugly to me and has no sound. Whatever your preference is. I will be honest, the filter for the CAI was a pain to remove and clean on my Civic due to how low it was and the bodykit. I would love to have the AEM for sound and looks but I don't feel like going through the hassle of getting to the filter this go round. It's going to be the icebox for me, I just hate how stock it sounds and looks.
