Was wondering if there was a company who made the cold air intake for the 1999 tl. I was having trouble finding one. Also what is the best website for aftermarket parts for my 99 tl!

Thanks for the input!
Mike

 

Would love some more info too.

 

Any intake for a 99-03 non-Type-S will work.

 

^^^

 

well all I ever see is 00 to 03 intakes only one from Comptech "Icebox" really wanted an open air filter that wont throw the engine light !!!!!

Thanx - Mike

 

how would it throw the enigine light? Most of them are open filter.

 

Well I took out the factory paper one for a ride down the street and 30mins later the light came on I put the filter back in and a day later and the light went back off I can only guess there is an air mass sensor that fowled that. wouldnt a cold air intake interupt that?
Well thanks for all the advice!!


Mike

 

O_O! you took off the filter?! and jus drove around without the filter?! please tell me you didn't..

 

 

Are you serious? They all have filters. Why would you drive without an air filter?

 

having no filter at all is not only not good for your engine, it would definatley throw a code because of the drastic change of airflow.

 

haha thats the most crazy thing to do lol taking off an air filter?????

if you ever buy an aem cold air intake or any other cold air intake, don't forget to unplug the battery so the engine light wont come on, after u install the cold air intake just plug back, and i don't think you would have problem with that light.

 

So thanks for all the advice, and yes I did know the non-filter deal is bad just a short run down the street. So the new question is which one gets the most Hp gain?

Again thanks for all the advice!!!

Icebox or AEM V2 or Injen

 

 

I have the Comptech Icebox for my 99 & I love it....

 

i'm with 02type-s. i have Injen and i love it.

 

Go to http://www.yourhotcar.com/ for your Cold Air Intake.

What?! You serious? The worst thing to do driving without a filter.

Like mentioned above....Comptech, AEM, Injen, or attempt to make your own.

 

part numbers?

 

just google, there out there

 

hi im new here. i also have a 99 tl. and when i took tha intake box apart to take it out, there was some sort of small radiator inside tha box with hoses running into it. how do i take it out and put tha intake on?

 

You trace both hoses back and then put a hose or use existing hose and hook the two sources together.

 

thats not gonna hurt anything?

 

^ nope you hook the two hoses together that way it can still flow, so to bassforblury just get one that says its for the 00-03 because they just didnt make one to pass that radiator part, but it fits perfect you just have to connect those two hoses

 

thanks for tha input. makes sense just didnt wanna mess anything up.

 

I got my AEM V2 from TireRack.com for '00 TL. It has the extra wires for relocating the air flow sensor from the engine to the intake.

 

so for the coolant lines just hook them up together?

 

No, you do not hook them together. They both originate under the throttle body. You remove Line 1 completely and plug the end (that plugged into the air filter radiator) of Line 2 where Line 1 originated.

 

Hi all, will this aem cai part# 21-416 fit my 99 tl?

 

yup! 98-02 Accord V6 will fit.

 

Thanks DT. I just bought my cai and put it in today, sounds good. Thanks for confirming that it will work and fit. Appreciate it.

 

get an AEM cold air intake system they are the best one in my opnion

 

hey yall, im new to the forum. i just got a '99 and dont know too much about it yet. what exactly is the radiator looking thing in the airbox, and if i remove the resonator box, will it screw something up?

ryan

 

I would say that it most likely acts as a mini intercooler hahaha! As for removing the resonator, that would be one of the best mods you could do if you dont plan to buy a CAI. I removed my resonator 9 months ago and I noticed a big difference in air flow, power, smoother idling etc. Anyone here will tell you that its a must do for your TL, and it sounds very aggressive. I haven't heard of anyone screwing anything up. Its actually better for your car. Search the "DIY" thread for all your mods.

 

i have AEM!! sounds very very aggressive!! and looks good too

 

sounds good. doing that on saturday. thanks

 

my gunmetal injen cai with fujita filter > yours.

 

i cant find any cai for my tl, can some one please tell me the best cai for an 1999 tl
please specify

thanks in advance
