when you installed the CAI do you have to take the bumper off to get access?

 

I would say yes. You have to remove the stock intake first and then install the tubing for CAI. Gives you more room to work with.

 

most definitely

 

I'm going to get my intake installed on friday afternoon @ Injen, and i will be sure to record a sound clip.
what are you guys looking for? hood open/closed, in car, and drive by?

 

everything lol. including in cabin

 

I would be happ with jsut A drive by

 

Damn boy clean that engine...and get all that excess wax off of your fender edge. LOL.

 

i did when i detailed my car not too long ago, haha.

 

guys i live in a city where we have longer winter than summer so installing Injen intake will it effect the engine??

 

i've never been to Toronto, so i dont know how often it rains there.
but if its just cold, and not much rain, then you will be fine with installing this intake as a cold air intake. every engine out there performs better with cold air (noy sure about diesels but yeah).
if it rains often then you might want to install this intake as a short ram though.
p.s. it is always a good idea to get the aem by pass valve or injen's own hydro shield if it rains often and you want to use it as a cold air intake.

 

We do get rain but not like Vancouver but i like the idea you suggested thanks for the advise I am going to read little bit more about the Injen..Injen is my next project for my car

 

now I am debating AEM or Injen I can get the AEM locally and installed but Injen not sure who sells localy might have to get it online

 

so what is this thing do we need to buy a seperate if we live in NYC? it rains alot here and I don't wanna take a chance on damaging my engine but I would like the increase in HP that this delivers so whats the deal here?

 

get a hydroshield but to be honest you don't really need one. I live in Florida, where we get all these thunderstorms and when I used to drive my 1G TSX, I just had to be careful.

 

you have to buy the hydroshield seperately, shouldnt be expensive at all neither.
just looked at their website now, should be around 25-30 dollars it seems.

 

oh by the way i just picked up the intake yesterday, but unfortunately they were a bit busy and i had to go somewhere else. so im going to install this myself, right now it looks like i'll be installing this on monday with a friend. i'll keep you guys updated and record sound clips.

 

i think all the companies that makes (or going to make) an intake for our car is gonna have similar hp gains. so its really up to you!!!
on a side note, Injen is a bit cheaper compared to takeda, and probably a lot cheaper compared to ct, excelerate sells the injen for 280 i believe.

 

oh and here is a teaser:

 

i think ima pick this up eventually, because it can covert to short ram.

 

be sure to post some vids, I know how it sounds but I want to see if there is any noticeable difference in the midrange band

 

i managed to get it on tonight. removing front bumper was a piece of cake, removing airbox was a piece of cake, but DAMN resonator was a PITA, putting the bumper back and making sure that all the clips were on correctly was also a PITA.
total time was 1 hour and 40 minutes, probably should subtract 20 minutes or so because me and my buddy cleaned up my HID fog install, and we had a little bit of trouble getting it to work lol.
Tip: remove the black rubber coupler before attempting to remove the resonator, it makes the removal of resonator much easier.
How does it sound: Well, in normal driving conditions, the intake CANNOT be heard, push the gas pedal a little hard and over 4k RPM and you'd hear it a little bit. Under WOT that thing is F$#%$%#% LOUD!!!
Will take video clips tomorrow afternoon lol.

 

I am a new member. Great news on the this intake from injen. Does anyone have soundclips or videos? thanks

 

i'll post them up in a few hours.

 

its been a few hours, wherse the effing video!?!?
haha jk. cant wait to hear it. do you feel some power gain? woudl u recommand it?

 

Hi new to the site and Im amped to see this video also....

 

calm down kiddo!
i managed to get 2 in car videos by myself, unfortunately no drive by yet. couldnt find anyone to record while i gun first gear.

does anyone know the injen intake for 06 TSX will fit in the 09? I have 1 for sale if any takers.

 

dont think so

 

driving at 100mph while recording a vid. lol. nice vids.

 

yeah, long freeway onramp and only me around, so uh........ that happened lol.

 

Thanks for risking your life for us!!!

 

would be so tempting when it happens.

 

hmm, hows the sound outside of the car?

 

quite similar to in car actually, sounds pretty aggressive for an intake IMO.

 

sure buddy, anytime!

 

definitely louder than stock. Post more videos when you have time, I have to compare to my taekda haha

 

+1, shuodl def. compare!

 

oh i forgot to mention, my car pulls harder in all rpm range now, and i can definitely tell the change in tone once i hit vtec.

 

sick I like it!

 

160 WHP stock
170 WHP w/ only intake

not bad esp for auto
