what does the rest of the ice box look like? filter type?

 

it looks good

and unless I'm mistaken, there's a cone-shaped filter in the box part

 

imho i should have stuck with the aem, when comptech say stock they mean stock....

 

no way, I think this looks much better...but then again, I have a thing for subtlety

 

yeah well the ct icebox will need to grow on me, the aem empty look does sucks but sound wise, and the mental kick the aem gave not to mention the vtec roar, is simply grounds for a ct ass beating haha just my opinion

 

So how does it sound compared to stock? I know the AEM is gonna give a "roar" but with the enclosed box on this intake, is it loud like an AEM?

Thanks.

 

imo its EXACTLY like stock!!!! with the resonator removed!!! on the type s engines the ct icebox has a built in resonator but i believe it takes out that humm and kills some of that sound, i will try later on to play with it, this damn icebox needs to be louder dammit hahah

 

Do you notice any performance difference between the icebox and aem (I don't know if you had a cai before)?

 

not really if anything the aem gives you a mental boost cus the louder sound makes you think its faster too...if you have an aem stick with that

 

The letters "Comptech Sport" on your IceBox were painted? Or did you do it yourself?

 

i had them painted...

 

I'm definitely a fan of the AEM intake, the Icebox look/no sound just doesn't do it for me.

 

Nice install--especially with the logo!

Not to be contrary, but I prefer INJEN!!!

 

i would have stuck with my aem had i knew too, for some reason the lack of sound really makes the car feel slow i dunno just my opinion

 

hehe if u dont like the icebox that much u can sell it to me and by aem.

 

sure how does 240 plus shipping sound?

 

oh i forgot you have type s and i don't sorry. I didn't pay attention on that. Would it still fit if my tl is not a type s?

 

i doubt it the part numbers are different but if you want i can get the icebox for your car new at that price.... pm me if you want info

dude.. thats not much cheaper then buying it from this site.. now if that was with shipping it might be a diff story.

 

but when you buy from this site you have to wait because comptech is back order on the icebox right now. I can't wait like 3 months for it . My friends order like four months ago, and it still not arrive to his house yet. Asiankidd let me know the place you buy the icebox have that in stock. if they have it in stock, please email me at thanh_pham@sbcglobal.net. I am very interest in that. Thanks man

 

well its thru a personal friend who owns a company called a-spec its a small company i just talked to him he says he can get it , pm me if your interested cus talking about this on the forum is against the rule

JON

 

where is this shop??

 

i think monterey park?

 

holy shit really?
is a-spec a small company that just does visual enhancemnts to our car and sell them to acura?
i could have sworn honda made it up.

 

Ehhh.. 6 year old thread? Hmm..

 

yeh i know its an old thread
but wasn't the first "a-spec" the 03 tl-s a-spec made only in canada?

is A-Spec really just a small company or is it a division of acura or what?
does anyone know?
