i have searched and searched this forum for an answer and still no luck. i have a 2002 acura tl-s with fog lights! im looking to get a cold air intake for my car but hearing they wont fit due to my fog lights. does anyone know which intake is best for my car. i want a CAI

 

I too have the factory fogs and the Comptech Icebox fits nicely, sounds great, and works like a charm

 

every 02-03 TL has foglights. all cai's fit.

 

yeah any of the CAI should fit even tho its except fog lights. when i bought mine online i called the company and asked about but they said it would fit. Good luck. AEM sounds great!!!

 

thanks for your help guys. just ordered an Injen CAI along with throttle body spacer. hopefully ill notice something out of this

 

I'm contemplating between the AEM CAI or CT (I guess thats comptech) engineering CAI. The CT says you get 8hp and 7lbs of torque WITH their headers and exhaust, so it'll take an additional 1800 to get that much power. I'm sure they both do the same exact thing. Anyone noticed a big difference after they have installed?

 

i have an AEM CAI and i dont really see much difference except for the noise it makes (not soo loud) but it looks pretty sweet when you pop the hood and u do hear it at higher rpm. and i got fog lights to it still fit perfect

 

clean your engine bay.. and somebody is gonna tell you to move your positive cable for audio.. lol..

 

You could loom the wire and run it underneath. That engine bay def needs a wash

 

at least you put your fuse within the 12 inches.

I went with the comptech, i didnt want people knowing i had one, and i personally dont like the look of the huge pipe.

I have read great things about the injen.

 

i have the injen cai and it definitely sounds great and breathes a lot better..

 

I have a Injen and there is no problem with this fog lights blocking or anything

 

wuts the whole shapeal bout the v2. yea with the sound waves an woohoo but is it worth the extra cost? does it perform any better than your icebox, aem coldair, or injen? iv heard many-o-thoughts on this but no decisive conclusions...

 

While seafoaming I noticed something strange...

Can someone tell me if my CAI was installed correctly? the breather hose marked in red is connected to nothing...it is floating there sucking in unfiltered air from the engine bay. the other side of the throttle body does have a hose connected to it.


PS:
Do all cold air or SR intakes on a 2nd gen TL make a similar drone sound at idle that the aem v2 makes? sorta like a metalic vacuum noise.

 

yes they all make that noise other then comptech i think ... and i think your missing the rubber connector

 

Thanks for the response, when i had the v2 installed..they used that orange rubber piece at the TB instead of the connector that came with the intake. I'll try to see if they still have it or order the part again...in the mean time, am I hurting my engine much by driving with that breather hose not connected to anything?

 

go to autozone or whatever and get a small piece of fuel line and connectors and ... your done

 

put one of those lil breather filters on it

I have an Ebay CAI on my CL-S and have no complaints. It works well and sounds great. I also see better gas mileage with it.

^nice save if she said it, she said it. put that shit back

Still one hell of a sig though

 

lol...fuck it put it bac....since i got on this ssite youve had it...why take it off now..lol

 

hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa

...small picture ftl

and why did you install SRI? Thought it was CAI you needed help with

 

so we start off by discussing CAI, and move to DC's sig and how clueless some people are on these forums

It is a "CAI"

The filter's under the hood.....its a "SRI"
