If your intake system has the CARB numbers on it, It's mainly to cover your ass if you were to get pulled over and have your hood popped. The police need to see a CARB eo# on any performance related modification to ensure the vehicle remains within SMOG regulation. The officer won't know the specific location for an IAT sensor, much less may not know what IAT is or what it stands for.

Just purchased the AEM CAI off ebay for $199.00 shipped (or something very close to that). There is a 10% off coupon on www.slickdeals.net that you can use towards any paypal purchase on ebay. Save another $20.00. (up to $25.00 savings allowed).

hey subinf...does the offset on the magnaflow mufflers matter? did you just go center/center? and you said you removed the mid-muffler and replaced it with pipe...what diameter pipe? where does the resonator go?

THere are two rivets that you drill out... and if you do it the right way (I.E. use a drill bit smaller than the diameter of the rivets) then you can salvage the holes the rivets are in and use screws in the future for re-fixation of the resonator box when you go back to OEM.

I did just that and the vibration is gone. I also cut the breather hose down a little because it was bending at an angle and looked like some air could have been restricted.

Cleaning CAI
Does anyone have any issues cleaning the CAI? I had it on my Prelude and it was a pain to have to jack the car up, remove the wheel liner and then remove the filter.
I was thinking about a short ram intake for convenience and ease of mind. I remember having to turn around a couple of times when the streets were flooded in the city underpasses. Anyone have experiences with the short ram?
Has anyone installed the bypass valve on the CAI?
