does anyone know if comptech is coming out with an intake soon?

 

I'm waiting on the Comptech Intake too. I called Comptech the other day...they said....it will be soon after they finish the Supercharger for the TL . Who knows when that is. ? ?

 

i thought the SC is done already? dammit they need to speed up the process.. haha

 

Been waiting on the Comptech airbox myself. Got tired of waiting and got an Injen CAI - gotta get em done Comptech....I try to use your stuff.

 

how about headers?

i wish they still can do headers...but not a chance on the new TL...

 

You would think comptech could go ahead and put an intake out on the market.

 

Yeah I spoke with Comptech today and they said that it should be out in 2 weeks or so. Lots of hp!!!

 

2 weeks?? thats quick.. dont get my hoopes up!!!

 

2 weeks for comptech means roughly 2 months for them...theyre never on time, but their products are worth the wait

 

What makes the icebox special compared to other traditional cai's?

 

Any idea if the Comptech intake will be made of aluminum, like the AEM and Injen, or plastic like the previous generation's version?

Also, which do you all prefer? I believe that the aluminum would be more durable, but the plastic would not heat up as much.

Your opinions are appreciated. Thanks!

 

I just wanna know WHEN the CAI will be available? waiting waiting waiting waiting waiting.........sheeesh....

I had an '03 CL and had a COMPTECH CAI. What I liked about the Comptech was that it blended in well w/ the rest of the engine compents. It didn't stand out ....meaning it looked "factory".

That is my opinion....

 

?

 

i think ive heard that the intake is gonna come out after the SC.. soo since the SC is coming out soon... sooooooon is the only answer for now.. no one knows when for sure

 

Is there anything that makes the Comptech intake better than a AEM or Injen intake?

 

Other than the fact that the dealers tend to not "knock"comptech parts - this is the main reason why. Previous posts have already covered what is different. Basically...it is made from black plastic and is a bit of a different system with an airbox involved....rather than the metallic "ram air" type system like the Injen or AEM types with the filter on the end. I actually would tend to thing that the Injen or AEM units probably produce better HP than the Comptech....but have no data or anything whatsoever to back that up...just my personal view from looking at the designs of the two.
