buy a K&N cleaning kit for 12.00 and clean your filter. the kit will allow you to clean and re-oil your filter at least 5 times. that will save you a ton of money because you should clean your filter at least every 10k miles.

Doode, state your question properly if you want help. Some of you guys/gals in here ask questions without taking into consideration any of the variables. Your signature or the "joke" at the bottom of your post says NOTHING about a CAI. It is perfectly sane to assume you have none. Then you name two brands, like WTF?

NSXNEXT was just asking a question the same way that you were asking yours...

No one is hating (although if they are, they are correct in doing so).

jerks... making me waste my time too.

they make cleaning kits for your filter so just buy the kit and clean your air filter instead of always replacing your air filter which means you waste more money if you keep replacing your air filter

vzuptnguyen:

maybe you want to check your attitude. i don't post a lot here...but guys like nsx and fsttyms1 and others have made this site worthwhile. They have helped me out. if you stick around here, you will benefit from their experience and willingness to help people out.


sounds like having TL at 18 is a great accomplishment...




congrats on your ride...but....that doesn't make you any more special than other people.

I agree with Stiletto. Next time just make it clear of what you have beacuse it took me several times to read over what you wrote.

For goodness sake stop typing like you're a gangster. This community does not need influences like you. Why are you comparing what he has. Maybe he has a house; do you still want to compare. WHO GIVES A flying fawk. OK you're 18 and have a TL, good for you but that does not give you privlage to insult others.
Someone should just delete this thread since the question has been answered.

We've had enough of your e-thugging on this forum. Seems like every post you actively are involved with disintigrates into crapp like this. If you cant clean up your act, and start being a little more productive, and considerate, then you will no longer be welcome here.

This thread has earned you a little temporary vacation, hope it gives you enough time to reconsider how you act.

There was absolutely no hate in that response. I merely asked him a simple question. The questions he asks indicates he doesn't have a strong automotive background and was trying to clarify if he even had, or better yet knew what a CAI is.

PenancE, you're also on the mods short list. Watch your tongue my friend.
