I just picked up an icebox today from acura of woodbine and i should be installing it in the next few days hopefully.. just wondering if anyone out there had any problems or if there are any tips to get it done right the first time round.. it looks pretty straight forward so im not expecting any problems

ive already removed the resonator box from the car so do i still need to remove the front bumper or will everythng slide into place with it on?!?!

 

how much? im thinking of getting an intake.
can you only use a ct icebox?
let me know how it goes

 

they wanted around 390 but i was able to get it for 355.. plus taxes of course.. oh and this is all in canadian dollars so dont freak out....

umm there are a few options out there.. but i went with the comptech becuase of the filter location and the stock appearance.... you can also look at injen and aem.... there are probably more out there but those are the 2 that come to mind.

 

isnt the comptech icebox the quietest of all the CAI's? I am thinking of getting one, though I did not know you can get them from the dealer? I have a stock 01 tl-p and want to do some minor mods, without adding much sound if any at all.

 

and also, do you have to have a comptech intake in order to intsall the icebox, or is the icebox the actual intake?

sorry for the dumb questions

 

ndawood, if you've already removed the resonator, I think you'll be able to install the icebox without removing the bumper again. You should be able to get the lower airhorn in through the wheel well. I removed the stock resonator box and did the install at the same time, so for me it was just easier removing the bumper.

GoldTL, the comptech icebox is the actual intake.

 

whats a resonator...
there should be a word list of jargon and what it means

 

The resonator (in this case) is behind the bumper. It is there to help keep down the sound. After all, it is a luxury sedan.

Here's a picture of it (the black box)

nice
how much hp and torque does it add?

 

thanx for the info... im gonna TRY to get at it this weekend... thats if nothing pops up... it looks like it should jsut slide into place and i wont have to remove anything.. but we will see


by the way did you use the comptech filter or did u move to the K&n... just trying to see if its worth getting it

 

If you haven't seen this, check this DIY out. It's very good.

Have a old towel ready when you disconnect the coolant line. Some coolant will come out, so just be prepared. Not a lot.

I have the stock Comptech foam filter it came with.

 

i dont really feel like driving back up to london to have my mechanic install it for me.. and i really dont like to do things that im not 100% sure of... and i dont even have any tools in TO

just wondering if anyone can recomed a good shop to get in installed at? i would prefer something in the richmond hill or markham area if possible... thanx

 

u know where markville mall is on hwy 7? if u go one block east and turn left there are alot of shops there.. let me know how it goes

 

thanx for the heads up buddy... but i already knw that there are a lot of shops out there... i was kinda looking for something more specific!

 

so i got my icebox installed today and i can really notice a difference in the low rom band... up high it feels a little quicker

it costed $40 to have it installed and only took about 45mins

the car is definately louder but its a nice agressive note that i just cant get enough of!

now that this is done its on to the next mod!

 

almost 400

 

almost 400 for what?
