Lookin to finally pull the trigger on a CAI but I'm stuck on which to choose. I've read many threads with people who love their Ice Box but I like the AEM. Injen is ok IMO but I'd love to hear otherwise if anyone strongly supports it. I wish they had V2 for the Type-S

Also..anyone know of a DIY for smoking/tinting the tail lights? Gotta start changing the look of the car a lil more...

 

Injen cai with fujita filter ftw.

 

$$$$ ?
Performance?
Noise?

 

CT Icebox. FTW.

Most performance and works flawlessly.

No water issues.

 

$260 for injen (well, that was back then, newbage days when i didn't search) filter was like $46 i think from heeltoe.

performance? topnotch i'd say..

noise? delightful.

 

I love my AEM CAI.. Can get any better for $60

 

x2 on the CT Icebox

 

icebox > injen > aem

 

 

werd x2

 

x3.

Love my CT Icebox with the K&N. Looks stock, no water issues even here in super-rainy Oregon, and from what I've read on AZ, the highest whp gains of any CAI.

 

Been workin a lotta double shifts lately and haven't been able to check up on this since I posted.

Thanks for the great input..startin to turn away from the AEM and I'm leanin over to that Ice Box.

Bonknhead - I see ur over in Hillsburrito. Im from Tualatin..we should meet up sometime so I can check out ur ride.I gotta SSM 02 TL-S like urs without all the mods. But I'm lookin to change that..

 

AEM ftw. Havnt had a problem and got it for cheap

 

if you ask me, AEM all the way. i've used it on every car i've owned without any issues whatsoever. fitment is 100% also.

some will say injen and comptech but honestly they all work well, just depends on what you like. i would say aem and injen are lounder at WOT than the icebox. all personal preference.

 

AEM V2 > IceBox > Injen

 

OP has a type S so no V2 for him

 

 

All pluses, no minuses

 

Sry guys..just don't have enough time to be on here as much as I'd like to.

I'm leanin over the Icebox way. Thanks for the input. Water issues with a CAI had me apprehensive bout goin with AEM and if CT Icebox gains are just as comparable without those water worries then I'm prob gonna do that.

Thanks for the help and for bein patient.

AZ is AWESOME!!

 

Anyone know why the CT Icebox doesn't have separate models for TL-P and TL-S?

I thought the TB's are different sizes.

edit: Nvm, it does. Excelerate's website confuses.

 

Good choice.

And Icebox has the most HP.

Not much more...but more.

 

^^Haha..
"Not much more...but more."
You should be a CT salesman

 

lol...I stand by their products.

I mean few HP here and there adds up.

Over some other weaker setups the difference is more substantial.
