Just put the Comptech Icebox in my 03 TL-s and it was a mofo to do. Started at 10:30 last nite thinking it would take and hour and 4 hours later i was done...hah...i can tell a noticable difference in throttle response and acceleration...the horn is leakin some blue fluid but im thinking it is the excess spray from the filter...hoping it isnt coolant...will this mod screw me when it comes to warranty fixing my tranny?

 

why did it take so long to do?

im hoping to do mine w/i an hour.

as for tranny warranty work, i would put the stock airbox on just to be safe than sorry.

 

they shouldn't bother you about the icebox.........Some dealers install comptech stuff so I dont see how they can void your tranny warranty because of that.Becareful though about Tranny Cooler and headers if you ever think about these in the future.

 

I'm not sure why it took you so long...I should have taken you about an hour maybe a bit more. Don't get too frustated dude. At least you can say that you did it yourself!

 

I have the Icebox, headers, pulley, exhaust.... dealer didn't even ask about the mods when changing my transmission under warranty.

 

4 hours? what were you drinking a beer in between each twist of the screw driver????

As for what its dripping, it has to be something on the filter, and isnt coolant, our coolant is Green!

 

yeah, that blue stuff doesn't sound right. were you using blue anti-seize paste or something?

as for your warranty, the airbox is not an issue. neither are the headers. don't worry about it. i have a cooler, headers and intake. i have never had a problem. if you put in a supercharger then i'm sure they will give you a fight but they will still have to honor the warranty in the end as long as it didn't cause the failure.

my filter is soaking wet with the spray on stuff that comes with the filter...i didnt over do it but it is leakin down the horn...is the filter supposed to be sticky 5 days after install? I ordered the K&n replacement because im sick of this filter

 

oh i gotcha now. yea i don't know about the foam filter since i've never had the icebox, but i'm sure you'll be happy with the k&n.
