your icebox is a CAI...you don't need the injen

personal preference...do comptech everything insluding the exhaust

don't forget your strut tower bar and front and rear sways as well as lowering your 4x4 when you put the 19" on

Yes. The name "Ice box" doesn have anything to do with cooling engine or whatever components.
I think the reason why they put "Ice box" is to emphathize their "COLD AIR" intake product...

Hey,

The strut tower bar is optional ... I have a Cusco bar (add-on to the stock Type-S bar) and it provides marginal torsional stability. I don't know how much more the Comptech bar would add (replaces OEM strut tower bar).

But looks like you're more go than show ... save your $$$ on the CT supercharger and get the CT headers, CAI (whatever you want), CT springs/aftermarket shocks, CT sways, and pocket the rest on rims/tires!

My $0.02 ...

PS CAI can be used in Canada... you hear the 'roar' when you hit VTEC. Might give marginal gains in HP. Be sure to consider a bypass valve if you drive in places with big puddles. Water in engine = BAD.
