I need to know if Short-Ram Intake for TL/CL or TL-S/CL-S will fit my RSX-S. Anyone know the sizes for the tl/cl? Thanks!

 

I would think the diameter of the pipe would be the least of your worries. It's more in the shape of the pipe. I wouldn't think they'd be the same shape.

 

I looked at the shapes and they seem to be similar (at least to me) but I may be wrong. However if they are not I can get a much cheaper (60$ cheaper) intake

Hmm.. actually does anyone here have pics of their intake installed for comparison purposes?

 

and...

 

I don't think it will fit. Here is somebody with the Injen short ram.

Stupid question, but why not get the RSX short ram? Are you getting a deal on the TL shortie?

 

TL SRI goes for $139.99 or something like that around here. The cheapest RSX-S SRI I saw was for 200$. If I could save myself 60$ I would however i'm not THAT cheap to soup up a home-made contraption hehe

 

Just looking at the pics. The SRI for the TL has the bend further away from the throttle opening (near the filter). The opposite is true for the RSX intake where the bend is near the throttle opening.

 

I wonder if you can attach the filter to either side of the SRI tubing... can someone verify that for me? If so then just by reversing it, I'm pretty positive I could make it fit in the space provided...

 

I don't have the SRI, but I can be pretty sure that all the short rams have a flared rim on the end that holds the filter cone.

If anything, you might be able to cut off that flared end to get it to fit into the TB.

 

Yeah but wouldn't I then need that flared rim on the opposite end to hold the filter? I don't have an SRI either... heh... it would be much easier if I had one. Oh well.. hmm... you think local performance shop should have one? I mean even if for a different auto but from same manufacturer, I could still find out about the flared rim, right?

Is my idea just nuts and I'm beating against a wall here, or what?? Ok, ok... i'm ok now. really...

 

I would just go to a auto parts store that sells them and try a few to see if you could retro-fit it. My personal opinion, pay the $$ for the right one. Granted it's only a piece of pipe with a filter on the end, but do you really want some homemade, cut up in my basement SRI?

 

You are correct. I would much rather have a proffessionally done SRI, however I'm still debating whether I should pay double of what it should cost... heh. I think, I'll wind up buying the right SRI anyway. Just wanted to see my options here heh...
