Does CAI slow the car down in higher speed?
 

I'm planning to get and install a CAI, but I heard that the CAI slow the car down and prevent it to go no higher than 80 mph? Is this true? Also will the short ram intake slow the car down as well, but in low RPM? If anyone know anything about this please let me know. Thank you.

im not sure if it slows the car down, i really doubt it though. and i know for a fact it doesnt limit your car to 80 mph

Where the hell did you hear that? def. won't limit to 80mph???

lol, no it will not make you slower, slightly faster if anything

I think someone was fucking with you...

:stupid:

Cold Air or Short Ram, if so what brand is reliable and good performance?
 

From anyone experience, which is a better intake, short ram or cold air and if so what brand what you guys reccomend that is reliable and have good performance? Thanks.

I heard from my friend who has it on his 2000 Integra. I thought it was kinda funny and knew somehow it didnt sound true.

AEM V2 CAI is the winner :thumbsup:

oh lordy lord, sweet jesus son of mary mother of god

haha.

AEM V2 CAI is a waste of :ugh:

Most CAIs are created equal, get fujita or injen whichever is cheaper.

not true at all- just get one man :)

If your car wont go above 80mph after you install the CAI, make sure you have the correct amount of blinker fluid and adjust your powerband.

okay maybe the op is means that with a cai u might loose some low end torque? but however when u hit WOT ur going to zooooomm. but overall you will gain hp!! but low end torque might suffer a little. my 2 cents

AEM V2 CAI ftw, there is a difference, just a small one though

If it did, wouldn't you think all the makers will be out of business by now. I had mine AEM CAI for 4yrs and it was one of the affordable bolt on you can buy. Go with AEM CAI V2. I have V1 and I am satisfied with it. Not sure how much hp/tq you will gain over the V2. But V2 is the lastest CAI version.

I have a K&N. It made a difference. So far for me, best performance gain / per buck ($).
Plus the sound of the CAI growl is sweet. :thumbsup:

you will probably lose some throttle response and low end torque.... but u will gain some in the upper range..

im thinking to remove mine... the only good thing about it is the sound. Thats why they sell so many of them

Very little gain :ugh:

That guy with the 2000 TEG must be a noob or a tard... forgive my being rude but WTF!!! anyways let me ask everyone is throwing zingers on the AEM V2 CAI, wondering why because from what it sounds like is that some will buy it and wont hit the dyno to find the actual facts on the HP gain or if takes load off the motor. Sooooo...... ya to get real facts you someone must fork the dough and go get a run in. I wouldn't use AEM anyways BUT before I disprove the product I would run tests. Why doesn't someone just run a DIY ice box? would anyone be interested, if so I am willing to make a DIY thread.

I will be interested. But does can someone please reccomend a reliable cold air intake that has a bypass as well. PLease anyone. THanks.

engrish?

Anwaysy Injen/Fujita/AEM CAIs are good, get either 3.

Tell that guy that he needs to change his blinker fluid before he ruins his whole electrical system. MY friend did that to some dude at dunk-in donuts and he came back the next week and was very pissed off because he actually went to an auto shop and asked them to check it ahahhaha.
As for intake, make a custom one, they all serve the same purpose and get cold air.

LOL sorry, I will speak Engrish! I was in a hurrry. Basically what I am saying is that without someone proving it with dyno results you cant really knock any CAI or short ram. I was also wondering if anyone was interested in DIY Ice box? For those who do not know what an ice box is..... a cold air intake setup to eliminate sucking in water and is probably more efficient.

Also! No not CAI's work the same and don't contribute the same! Have the same concept, yes but not all the same. The reason Fujita/AEM/Skunk2 were so successful with other CAI and short ram is because instead of just making a tube to hook up to your TB (throttle body) they actually spin the metal around a rod when making the CAI. Anyone who has an AEM CAI or short ram, look inside you will see spiral lines! reason for this is that the spiral lines help the air vortec, spin and distribute evenely instead a big rush of turbulanced air into the combustion chamber.

^dude, we weren't really knocking any cold air intake or anything, we just suggested what we thought was the best

you cant be serious :what:

Wow.

Considering I've already had the car up to 135Mph, no, the CAI will do no such thing. :spit:

hahaha no dont take it the wrong way I wasn't trying to be rude. I just saw some replies saying that the AEM was a POS! Just askin why.... as for 80MPH I'm going to keep it at no comment. Thread dead :thumbsup:

They are all pretty much the same. Get the one that fits your budget. AEM V2 is the choice of many but I was too cheap and got a Fujita. I paid 212 shipped. The other choice is Injen.

actually, the intake did prevent me from going faster...
something happened at around 156 mph..i think the air got too cold from the CAI, ice cubes were flying into my motor :tomato:

I appreciated. Thank you for the info.

Guys, it's impossible for a CAI or filter to decrease low end torque. Completely impossible so get that out of your heads. It's not an exhaust mod. Explain how more air can take away power anywhere in the rpm band.

And the spiral lines on the inside are for marketing hype. A 3" pipe will flow much more air than the <300 CFM required to make the TL's rated hp. If you can't make your own, you should shop by price, bling factor, noise level, or quality of parts/materials but power will be so close between all of them it should be the last consideration.

A K&N will only make a difference on the butt dyno or the silicone content in the engine oil on a stock or nearly stock TL.

I feel your pain lol.

oh well i guess we all have much to learn ^^ good info IHC keeping us level headed! :)

dont forget the xenon fluid so you would be able to see when is low

spiral lines and air vortec? thats the shit you hear on horsepower tv. you pullin tractors?
